  • Manga Mondays: Mushishi Review

    I recently noticed an odd recurring trend in all of my manga reviews up to this point.  The three titles I’ve reviewed thus far all start with the letter “B.”  This by no means is an indicator that all good manga titles start with “B,” or that if that familiar…

  • Frankfurt: The Book Fair

    Some of our visitors probably already know why the Frankfurt Book Fair is such an important event to attend if you’re in the publishing business.

  • Webcomics, Part Error 404–Review Not Found

    Written by Matthew Pardue Yeah, this week’s review isn’t gonna happen, unfortunately.

  • Manga Mondays: Bunny Drop Review

    Last week, I introduced all of you to one of the, if not the best, seinen manga series on the market.  This week, we’ll be shifting away from the grim and war-torn battlefields of Berserk and instead visiting modern day Japan to take a look at the more recent josei…
