This week’s Flipped features another Fandemonium interview, this time with Dylan Acres about the incredibly successful and delightfully versatile Rumiko Takahashi. Acres is part of a group that runs the Rumic World family of Takahashi-centric web sites.
Status quo
October 9, 2007 by
This week’s Flipped is up, with quick visits to previously reviewed series to see how they’re holding up. Some are good as they ever were, one’s improving, one’s rebounding, and one seems to be starting a downhill slide.
Expanding horizons

This week’s Flipped is up, featuring a look at the inaugural title from Yen Press, Keiko Tobe’s admirable, award-winning With the Light: Raising an Autistic Child.
Neglect, correct

In this week’s Flipped, I call for back-up in the person of noted manga blogger CLAMP maniac Katherine Dacey-Tsuei to discuss the hit-making quartet’s work.
I realize that my tastes can be relatively narrow, and this leads me to neglect big chunks of the licensed manga catalog, so I hope to do more of these in the future. Got a favorite creator, category or genre and want to sing its praises? Drop me a line.

I’m particularly happy with this week’s Flipped, because it’s an interview with the charming and frighteningly well-read Jason Thompson, author of the upcoming Manga: The Complete Guide and Manga Editor for Otaku USA.
I already made the doughnuts

I can’t believe I forgot to self-promote. Ah, well. It’s one of those weeks.
There’s a new Flipped up, in which I look at some online comics initiatives.
Floppies

This week’s Flipped offers a look at two different manga magazines — Viz’s Shojo Beat, now with added Honey and Clover, and Otaku USA.
Because what I think just isn't that interesting…

It’s another interview week with Flipped, this time around with t he good folks at CMX.
Stormy adolescences
August 14, 2007 by
You would think one manga about teens facing mysterious, murderous parasites would be enough for a given publisher, but the more I read Alive, the more I realized there was plenty of room at Del Rey for both it and Parasyte.
And while it might not be one of CMX’s more newsworthy upcoming releases, I enjoyed The Key to the Kingdom a whole lot. (I might just be going through fantasy saga withdrawal, but I don’t think so.)
Anyway, I go into needless detail on both in this week’s Flipped.
