There’s a fascinating piece over at Bill Flanagan’s blog at the Translation Dojo on the rise of the $10, unflipped manga digest:
“From and editorial standpoint, it was a difficult change. Producing pamphlet manga meant that each graphic novel was coming out once every 6 months. A switch to quarterly graphic novels meant that production was doubled.”
Maybe they did teach us how to love. But seriously, go read it. It’s great.
