The magazine was OK for an impulse buy, but the delivery time was awful. I ordered the magazine in March and got it in June(!!!). I understand that shipping is messed up by lingering effects of the pandemic, but this was ridiculous. TOM just isn't what it used to be.

The doujin artist, 515M, is a very talented artist who makes great use of Neo-Japonism in her work "Mononoke." Neo-Japonism is an artistic genre that uses modern, typically pop art styles (e.g. manga and anime), but which is heavily influenced by traditional Japanese art. The result is something that, at a glance, looks like ukiyo-e, yet is a fresh and living aesthetic approach. I highly recommend "Mononoke" if you are familiar with the work of 515M or another Neo-Japonism artist like Hiroyuki Matsuura.
