Just because I feel like it, and because there are tons of good things to read at the moment, here are some of my favorite links of the past few days:
“And there’s Publisher’s Weekly. PW has done a great job covering manga the past several years, and I know for a fact that several of their writers are big manga readers. So what in the world is going on with their ‘Top 10 Manga for 2007’?”
“[Karen Berger:] So why don’t we come out with a line, really an alternate to manga, that deals with real girls in the real world, real stories, real situations. Give it that human touch with very strong protagonists and independent thinkers.”
“In January, the company will also publish new hardcover Library Editions of the first volumes of several popular manga series including BLEACH, DEATH NOTE, FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, INUYASHA, NARUTO and RANMA ½. The content of these editions will match their original manga counterparts but now packaged with a rugged hardcover to make the volumes viable for years of library use.”
