Posted on January 25, 2012 by Brigid Alverson

Dark Horse has been adding manga and manhwa to their digital site pretty aggressively; Deb Aoki notes the newest additions.

YALSA has released its Great Graphic Novels for Teens list, and it includes a number of manga; vol. 1 of Wandering Son and vol. 1 of A Bride’s Story made the top ten.

Ash Brown presents the first roundup for the Usamaru Furuya Manga Moveable Feast at Experiments in Manga.

Derek Bown introduces a new column at Manga Bookshelf, Combat Commentary, that will analyze and critique combat scenes in manga. He kicks it off with a corker from Bleach.

    So I’ve been thinking of changing my last name to Brown. But I’m a little too attached to my actual name.

    Thanks for the link.

        Thanks. I normally don’t care, since everyone adds the r in there, but since I’ve realized that I could probably have legal problems if the wrong person gets my name wrong (ie/ government type persons), I’ve decided I needed to be more anal about it anytime someone gets it wrong.

        Though I am amused anytime my name is misspelled next to Ash’s. Makes me think people are wondering if we’re related. XD
