Because I don’t have enough to do as it is (hah!), I’m now writing a monthly column on web manga at Comixpedia, which is a beautifully produced site about all things webcomic. My first one will be old news to most MangaBlog readers, as it’s a field guide to manga on the web, but drop by and check it out anyway.
And since I’m not totally omniscient, I welcome your suggestions on web manga that I could cover for Comixpedia and the other webcomics site I blog for, Digital Strips.

Hmmm, well if you are looking at manga you might want to check out Comic Genzo. Its a monthly web manga magazine from Gentosha. 210yen an issue which is very affordable. However it looks like the mag is on hiatus as they haven’t updated since November 06.

Ed, I looked at that and was put off by the fact that they want you to download an executable file in order to read the comics. That’s too scary for me!

Good point. I was hesitent at first but for some reason I ended up trusting Gentosha.
There are other free manga magazines and sites out there but if you are looking at Japanese titles then you will only find them raw and untranslated.
I am not a fan of scanlations so I don’t know where to even start with those. Nor do I want to support them. But if you’d like a couple of raw recommendations, I can give you some. You know how to get a hold of me ^_^
