My Happy List – Comic Series

This week we write about favorite shows, movies and series that make us smile. What a great challenge. Click here for details My Happy List Week 4.

I know this maybe a little Off topic but they’re the first to come to my mind when I saw the topic… they’re series that I really love … I’ll make one for drama or movies later on…

1. Files of Young Kindaichi (Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo)

I’ve been collecting this series since I was a young kid. Kindaichi is a detective series that often contains violence, horror and murder and also great mysteries.

I always enjoy solving the mystery together with the protagonist, Kindaichi Hajime, a genius with an IQ of 180 and possesses great deductive prowess. He is also the grandson of a great detective.

2. Archie Comics

Archie comics is about the daily lives of a group of teenagers that live in a small town call Riverdale. The stories are light, entertaining and sometimes silly.

3. Hei Se Shui Mu’s Comics

I stumbled on one of his comic during a trip to Malaysia. (Hei Se Shui Mu is a Malaysian comic artist) and I like his humour, so I bought one of his books and ever since, I’ve been buying 1-2 of his books whenever I visit Malaysia.

Hei Se Shui Mu is translated as black Jellyfish. I’ve no idea why the author decided to name himself that but it does fit with his style of art and humour.

His drawings are simple and not really fantastic but it just appeals very much to me. And I love his sarcastic style of humour. His strips are sometimes silly, sometimes sarcastic and sometimes illogical. However, they are entertaining and light, something you can pick up and read a few strips to let go of your stress.
