Kitakubu is now also a great manga:

Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku's manga translation has finally exceeded the anime adaption, so it finally has some value added to it.  Since my manga hall of fame is based off of value added it couldn't enter my rankings until now, but I've always loved this series.  Now it's represented in both my anime and manga halls of fame.

Hopefully the remainder of the Kitakubu manga will be translated (there's only one volume left to go), which will add even more to its value as a manga.  The fan translator at least intends to do so.

Kitakubu replaces Angel Beats: Knockin' on Heaven's Door to round out my top 75.  This is because, technically, Angel Beats: Knockin' on Heaven's Door was a light novel, not a manga, and thus shouldn't even be in my manga rankings.  Granted, the manga adaption is better than the original light novel, but that doesn't matter.  This is a manga hall of fame.  Everybody needs to be an original manga, not an adaptation.  Now this is true of all 75 entries in my hall of fame.  People should still definitely read the Angel Beats manga, but that doesn't mean it should be breaking the rules and appearing where it doesn't belong.

In other manga news, the Kimetsu no Yaiba prequel manga that came out with the movie is now available at mangakakalot.  It was really good.  Exquisite.  Everyone should read that too, though it does have some movie spoilers so hold off if you don't want to be spoiled.

For a long time I wondered whether my manga hall of fame could really support a full 75 entries, it felt like I was stretching things to reach 75 and could've stopped at 70 or 50 or something.  However, I've now ushered in a solid lineup and needn't worry any longer.  The new series, '100 Kanojo' + 'Kanojo mo Kanojo,' really helped out.  There are original manga out there deserving of credit, it isn't all light novel adaptions.

Ideally, I wouldn't need a manga hall of fame because these would all be fully adapted as anime.  Insofar as that does happen, I'll need new manga to step up and fill in the holes that appear.  It's an eternal tug-o-war.

Art is the bridge between the real and the ideal.  Through art, people living in the real world can live in an ideal world instead.  They can even learn what is the ideal world and envision it for the first time.  So long as we can always retreat to stories like Kitakubu or Kimetsu no Yaiba, it doesn't matter who's president.
