Different strokes…

If you only read one article today, check this one out: At Silver Bullet Comics, Barb Lien-Cooper enumerates 12 Reasons Why Manga is Not a Gateway Drug to Western Comics. This article enunciates a lot of things that I have been thinking but haven’t necessarily put into words. (Via When Fangirls Attack.)

At MangaCast, Ed rummages around and finds two new sequels, one to Kingdom Hearts and one to Gunsmith Cats, that are due out in the reasonably near future.

On the Geisha Blog, everything you need to know about bishounen.

David Welsh has some thoughts on today’s batch of new comics. So does Jog.

Comics-and-more reads the July Shojo Beat and is a bit put off by the colored inks but likes the new story, Vampire Knight. And a slightly belated Happy Birthday! C-and-m was one year old on Sunday, but Blogger wouldn’t let me post my congratulations there. Dave celebrated with a list of his favorite posts, an idea so good I may copy it someday.

In related news, Shojo Beat has its own MySpace page. (Via the AoD forums.)
