Was bedeutet eigentlich "Streetwork"? Die junge Künstlerin Anne Zimmermann, ausgerechnet zum ersten Corona-Lockdown neu in Berlin angekommen, wollte es genauer wissen und begleitete über mehrere Monate mehrere Streetworker:innen des Gangway e. V., der seit 30 Jahren auf den Straßen Berlins unterwegs ist und dort "Straßensozialarbeit" vor allem mit Jugendlichen macht. Ihre daraus entstandene Graphic Novel enthält Geschichten und Anekdoten aus dem Arbeitsalltag der Held:innen der Straße. Der berührende, oft auch überraschend humorvolle, aber immer authentische Band eignet sich nicht nur hervorragend für junge Menschen, die überlegen, die Jugend- und Straßensozialarbeit zu ihrem Beruf zu machen, auch wer zum Beispiel schon immer wissen möchte, wer sich etwa um die Obdachlosen in unserer Stadt kümmert, erfährt hier einiges.

Der mehr als wunderbare Finalband, dieser ausgereiften, erwachsenen "Yuri"-Reihe. <3 Ich freute mich sehr, dass die Bände nach und nach vermuten ließen, dass die Beziehung bzw. Verbindung der beiden Frauen in Richtung Aromantik/Asexualität (in unterschiedlichen Graden) gefestigt wird. Die Nebenfiguren sind sehr wertschätzend und unterstützend, man möchte eigentlich mit allen gemeinsam eine große Packung Donuts verköstigen und dabei über die Anforderungen und Freuden des Erwachsenenlebens plaudern. Egal, was die Mangaka noch herausbringt, sie wird in mir wieder eine begeisterte Leserin finden!

Dass nach Shio Usuis "Doughnuts under a Crescent Moon"-Reihe eine neue Girls Love Reihe der Mangaka auf mich warten würde, habe ich doch sehnlichst erhofft. In ihrem neusten Werk begleiten wir zwei Frauen, die beschließen, einander zu heiraten, wenn sie nach 5 Jahren immer noch Single sind. Die Zeit ist herum und beide erinnern sich an das Versprechen und der Manga nimmt uns mit in das Alltagsleben einer Journalistin und einer Köchin, die eigentlich kaum unterschiedlicher sein könnten. Beide versuchen mit der Situation locker umzugehen, doch das Umfeld schaut ganz besonders auf diese "Freundinnen-Ehe", die vermutlich für einige kuriose Blicke und Gedanken sorgt. Zudem schreibt Kurumi in ihrer neusten Kolumne ganz öffentlich darüber. Als Lesende bemerken wir von Anfang an, dass Ruriko bereits zarte Gefühle für Kurumi entwickelt hat. Ich bin den beiden so gern gefolgt und wünsche mir für ihre Geschichte noch sehr viel Zeit. Der absolute Cuteness-Overload dieses Bandes speist sich eigentlich komplett aus der liebevollen Interaktion der beiden, die füreinander da sein wollen und sich umeinander kümmern.

Do you remember a time before the corona crisis? For Brits (and lots of other Europeans) that too was an era defined by crisis, thanks to the ups and downs of almost half a decade of Brexit discussions.

Jonathan Coe's novel begins at the very beginning of the 2010s when Brexit was barely imaginable and follows the lives of a group of characters from across Britain's many middle classes during the turmoil-there's plenty of that in their private lives too.

Coe is a remainer and it shows but he understands and can even sympathise with his political opponents and this is a pretty fair depiction of England's division. More importantly than that though, it is hysterically funny - I literally lol-ed more than once while reading it (not least during the most awkward sex scene I have ever had the (dis)pleasure of encountering).

A novel for those who seek the solace of other crises in difficult times or for Germans who want reminding that others this side of the Atlantic have it worse.

A classic I ran across on my neverending to-read pile and finished within a few hours. The simple writing style made it enjoyable and easy to read, even if it was first published in 1900 and the language is somewhat rigid. It becoming a classic is well deserved - though I must say I'm not interested in the volumes that follow after this first one.

Author

Gaiman, NeilBuckingham, Mark

As the creator of The Sandman for DC Comics, writer Neil Gaiman has won every major award in the comics industry, as well as the prestigious 1991 World Fantasy Award for Best Short Story, the only comic-book writer ever to be awarded this literary honor. Cited by the LA Times as "the greatest epic in the history of comic books," the ten Sandman collections have sold several million copies and remain in print to this day. Having thus made his mark, Gaiman wrote another highly regarded series for DC with Books of Magic. Also noteworthy was his work on Eclipse Comics' Miracleman, which he picked up after close friend Alan Moore left the book. In addition, Gaiman collaborated with Terry Pratchett on the wistful apocalypse novel Good Omens and in 1997 wrote the BBC teleplay Neverwhere, a story he later adapted into a novel. Gaiman's other novels, American Gods and his children's book Coraline, garnered New York Times best-selling status and international acclaim including the Hugo, Nebula and Bram Stoker Awards. In 2001, Gaiman made his first foray into Marvel Comics with his series Marvel 1602, a series in which Gaiman took the core cast of Marvel's Silver Age comics, placed them 400 years in the past and retold their stories in his own inimitable way. Aided by stunning art from Andy Kubert and Richard Isanove, Marvel 1602 was the top-selling comic of the year. Next venturing into film, Gaiman collaborated with artist Dave McKean - a compatriot from his days on Sandman - on the feature Mirrormask, a mix of live-action, animation and puppetry that saw its critically acclaimed premiere in late 2005. As a passionate defender of the First Amendment, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund named Gaiman the 1997 Defender of Liberty, and he now serves on that organization's Board of Directors. Born in Porchester, England, Gaiman lives outside Minneapolis with his wife, Mary, and their three children.

Growing up in England, Mark Buckingham always dreamed of drawing comics. In 1987, he inked the best-selling Death: The High Cost of Living by Neil Gaiman and Chris Bachalo. He went on to contribute to Gaiman's Miracleman, The Sandman, Hellblazer and Shade the Changing Man. Buckingham has been the regular artist on Batman: Shadow of the Bat, The Titans, Peter Parker: Spider-Man and Fables.
