MMF: March to the Shojo Beat

Sean Gaffney looks ahead to this week’s new releases.

This month’s Manga Moveable Feast is hosted by Anna Neatrour at Manga Report and features Shojo Beat manga. To get us in the mood, Anna shows off her collection of Shojo Beat magazines.

At Heart of Manga, Laura posts the transcript of what sounds like a very lively panel featuring Arina Tanemura at Animefest 2012.

Erica Friedman has the latest Yuri Network News at Okazu.

Kate Dacey looks at an historical oddity, an unauthorized Astro Boy comic published by Gold Key that bears very little resemblance to Tezuka’s creation.

Speaking of Tezuka, Kate is giving away a copy of Message to Adolf at The Manga Critic; drop by and tell her your favorite Tezuka manga for a chance to win.
