Reading list

Posting may be a bit light over the next few days, as we’re taking a bit of time off to work around the house. Yesterday’s lesson learned: You can’t learn how to putty windows from an article on the internet.

However, there are plenty of good articles today. Chris Arrant’s interviews artist Jae-Hwan Kim for his people column on the Tokyopop site. Kim has been a manwha-ga for some time and also served in the army, where he learned Taekwando, which he says helps with the fight scenes. Now he’s working on WarCraft for Tokyopop and is negotiating with them about another series.

Diario de Nordeste has an interview with manga scholar Paul Gravett. (Via Dogmatika.)

Fun with Hype: 801Media puts out a press release announcing that it has licensed a title but can’t say what it is. So YaoiSuki responds with a guess-the-title contest. The prize is, of course, a copy of the book.

Sometimes a manga is not a manga: Love Manga comments on Zondervan’s planned line of Christian graphic novels.

There is much manga goodness at When Fangirls Attack today. Take a look.
