MangaBlogCast #6: Notes and links

This week’s MangaBlogCast has a lot of news from San Diego Comic-Con, which was obviously the biggest event of the week, but there was plenty going on in the rest of the blogosphere as well. You can find podcasts of all the manga panels at MangaCast; I’m only going to link to the ones specifically mentioned in the podcast. ANN has a list of all the titles announced at the con.

I took a break from podcasting this week and left all the hard work to Jack, but I’ll be back in two weeks on the next edition of MangaBlogCast. In the meantime, stay tuned to MangaBlog for all your breaking manga news.
