Lazy Sunday afternoon

The latest Manga Curry No Maki is up, and it’s chock full o’manga goodness, with a full summary and analysis of Anime Expo, a preview of SDCC, listener mail, and even a recipe to help you use up the leftover curry from previous episodes. Elsewhere on MangaCast, Ed takes a first look at Recipe for Gertrude, a new series from CMX.

Memory for Me reviews From Far Away; it sounds like if you liked Fruits Basket, or if you liked Fruits Basket but thought Tohru was too wimpy, this is the book for you.

At The Star of Malaysia, Kitty Sensei reviews the first two volumes of Scary Book and is not particularly impressed. On the other hand, reviewer Pauline Wong likes Platinum Garden.

Wired looks at a super-otaku. How do they know he’s otaku?

The proof comes when he whips out his digicam to show me photos of his enormous, meticulously organized collection of manga, which he keeps in his bedroom at his parents’ house.

Hmmm… sort of reminds me of this.

Free samples of manwha! Ice Kunion has added new titles to its previews page. Of course, that’s like your local ice cream man (or heroin dealer) giving out free samples… just makes you want more. (Via ComiPress.)

    My goodness, you’re quoting me like my writing made critical sense. I’m overwhelmed ^^. Thanks for liking it well enough to link it. Now I just hope a few more people buy From Far Away.
