The Digital Manga Guild launched its first title, Tired of Waiting for Love, yesterday; it’s an 18+ title that is available digitally at eManga.com, and Deb Aoki has already posted a review at About.com. I interviewed Kimiko Kotani, the translator of the book, and Digital Manga CEO Hikaru Sasahara and marketer Yoko Tanigaki about the Digital Manga Guild last week.
My awesome local comics shop, Comicopia, will host a Sailor Moon Midnight Release party on Sept. 13, to celebrate the release of Kodansha’s new edition of the classic series—and its prequel, Codename Sailor V.
