Domo creator speaks; yaoi readers pick their faves

Just a quick update today as I’m heading out for what I anticipate will be a busy day at work. One important reminder, though—if there’s an election going on where you live, get out and VOTE! We’re having municipal elections today, and although we all pay more attention to the president, local officials have a much more direct effect on everyday life. So take a minute to pull that lever or fill in that bubble.

OK, on with the manga news…

Lissa Pattillo and Deb Aoki write up the most recent Tokyopop webinar, which featured Domo creator Tsuneo Goda.

Deb also reports the results of a Twitter poll on the essential yaoi and BL manga.

Hey, someone’s writing an academic book on Boys’ Love manga, appropriately titled Boys’ Love Manga, and the contributors include a few famliar names: former Tokyopop editor Hope Donovan and Yaoi Press publisher Yamila Abraham.

The four-day Barcelona Manga Show drew 60,000 people, according to the Barcelona Reporter.

Christopher Butcher posts more photos of his recent trip to Japan at Comics212.

News from Japan: Canned Dogs notes that Yabuki Kentarou, creator of ToLoveRu, will be starting a new series in Jump Square soon. The post includes some discussion of the length of time it takes a creator to get rolling again once a series ends.
