I'd probably have loved it if one of my high school teachers had supplemented their lectures with readings from manga on a related subject. It might have made certain subjects, like history, stick in my memory better.A Library Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144279685884011943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094562384038868734.post-35743955856780035972017-08-04T11:20:47.487-05:002017-08-04T11:20:47.487-05:00I’ve been a wine drinker most of my life, so I’ll ...I’ve been a wine drinker most of my life, so I’ll have to check this out. Wine is an acquired taste, like drinking beer or coffee, so like the latter two drinks, I didn’t initially enjoy drinking wine. Enjoyment came after years of exposure. If you have Netflix, I would suggest watching the documentary “Somm,” as a complement to “The Drops of God.”<br /><br />I’ve often wondered why so many manga and animes are didactic in nature. Covering food, science, the arts, and social interaction. Often when watching animes set in high schools, I think that my teenage life would have been easier if I had learned the life lessons shown in these animes. On some days, when I’m more conspiracy minded, I’m inclined to think that the Japanese government is trying to socially engineer their society through anime and manga.Ron Kiharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984684205857807116noreply@blogger.com
