It’s been a while since my last manga related post, so I thought I’d get back to it…with a BANG.
Hardcore manga (or anime) is something quite difficult to handle for most westerners. We are so used to cartoons being friendly and fun, with stories with moral fibre and a message that we can all learn from.
Hardcore manga is usually full of violence, sex and heavy language. The manga’s that are full of dodgy sexual material are known as “hentai”…truthfully to me it’s all rubbish, I mean who gets hot looking at cartoon characters doing their thing?? I think you really need a girlfriend if you do (not one made out of plastic).
The violent stuff doesn’t bother me at all, I suppose I’m too desensitized in my old age, but when I say it’s hardcore I mean it…theres something about the freedom of drawn carnage that just cant be achieved with computer graphics or traditional techniques. This type of manga is definitely not for young kids…I remember a family friends little daughter used to get nightmares from watching the animated Conan the Barbarian, if she watched this stuff I don’t think she would ever sleep again…and lets exclude the shrink payments.

Fancy riding a massive build up of cumulous clouds across the skies to some far away place, when ever you want? Well our Tshirt of the Day takes this question head on and makes it all possible…well kinda 
This is one brilliant design and has to be one of the best of the new range. I really love the design on the baby blue tshirt, suits it absolutely perfectly. We do also have the tshirt in black, but for me it looks like the man is attempting to tie down a brewing thunder storm….that’s not a smart move, trust me….lightning is pretty bad for humans, we tend to fry on the spot.
I’ve had a lot of kite surfers in lately, Cape Town is a good spot for them that’s for sure. They are all totally gaga over this print and its plain to see why. Kite surfing allows you a great deal of freedom and the hang time you achieve, is what sets it apart from all the other adventure sports. The freedom of a man catching a cloud, I think that pretty much sums up the feeling they get from kite surfing.
I think this is one styling design and will definitely become uber popular, what about you guys…fancy catching a cloud to a paradise of your choice?
