And no, I don’t mean the Japanese movie/drama/manga or Korean drama. It’s amazing to me that US Networks or Netflix (which is a US-based company) are now creating Western versions of popular Korean dramas and an anime/manga franchise. It’s crazy. Okay. Not necessarily new. There have been other Japanese things that have made it to the US, i.e. the awful

If you are a lover of manga, I highly recommend checking out VIZ MANGA‘s online services. If you have a tablet or an e-reader that allows apps, then it’s a great manga resource. Of course, all the titles available are VIZ titles…kind of a “duh” factor, but I do enjoy many of VIZ’s translated mangas. As a bonus, I do

This is going to get confusing to be sure as I’m going to talk about two giveaways here. First things first, congratulations to Faryna for winning the complete set of the manhwa Model by Lee So-young. It really is a great series that I enjoy rereading from time to time. I have been very vocal about Sailor Moon being one

Hello! This is Chani! So in my infinite business as of late I have managed to find the time to read two full manga packaged into those big “omnibus” books that they make now that have two or three volumes in them. Actually, what happened was that when Border’s Books and Music was going out of business in the summer

**Special guest post by nichan.*** The other day I was randomly e-mailing somebody at work, and casually mentioned that I’d started to reread “Gerard & Jacques”. He’d never heard of it, so he (also at work) looked it up and replied that the first review he’d found had referred to it as something like “confrontingly graphic”. It was this idle

Say it isn’t so! I am a huge fan of Tokyopop as the main go-to publisher of my many manga addictions. I don’t know if I am right or not, but aside from like VIZ, they are the major publisher of manga out there. You go into Borders or Barnes and Noble and you see the shelves mostly filled with
