Don’t just take my word for it…

Posted on March 26, 2005 by Brigid Alverson

I’m reading as fast as I can, but I can’t cover every manga that’s out there, and anyway, it’s good to see different takes on a book. Here are a couple of other sites worth taking a look at.
Comics4LibrariesWiki: Manga and Manhwa collects reviews and publisher’s websites for a variety of manga for kids and adults.
All Ages is a chatty blog with news and commentary on kids comics, manga and otherwise. Highly recommended!
Laura “Tegan” Gjovaag is a comic fan who has just started reading manga, based on suggestions from readers of her blog, Bloggity-Blog-Blog-Blog. She’s posting rapid reviews of some of the same manga that are in my “to-read” pile.
I’ve already mentioned The Librarian’s Guide to Anime and Manga, which has a great primer on anime and manga and a list of recommended titles that hasn’t turned up a dud yet.
