Lissa Pattillo gives her take on this week’s new manga in her latest On the Shelf column at Otaku USA.
At The Hooded Utilitarian, subdee has a thoughtful analysis of Rohan at the Louvre (part 1, part 2). Also at HU: Melinda Beasi on the Bechdel Test and Nana.
The Otakon reports are rolling in. At the Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society, I-hsiu Lin reports on the Viz Media panel, the Kodansha Comics panel, and the con as a whole. Vicky Kariolic checks in with Graphic Novel Reporter. The Ninja Consultants, meanwhile, put their reflections in a podcast, and Linda sums up all the manga panels, including the translation one, in a single post at Anime Diet.
Three Steps Over Japan checks out another manga magazine, Weekly Manga Sunday.
