It is Manaré’s 19th birthday! And although it doesn’t make sense for the birthday boy himself to be the one handing out gifts, the Parisian does it anyway because he keeps it real. Alas, to celebrate his birthday, here’s Truancy Volume 18: Manaré! The first Truancy Volume ever was a gem of a Truancy volume, […]
