The September 4-6 Amazon Manga Weekend Festival features works generating buzz by word of mouth, with 50% points back on all volumes of eligible titles. ASCII.jp's pick this round is Tooru Kiyono's nonfiction manga "Dan Mitsu," which chronicles his dating, marriage, and daily life with his wife, entertainer Dan Mitsu.
The column notes that while readers might expect a story where the celebrity is different at home, the manga suggests the opposite. Dan Mitsu on TV is exactly who she is, and Kiyono's observations capture a person who is even more herself in private. The official site for the book describes her as "a being as if absurdity itself took human form."
