More Tuesday goodness

Posted on September 5, 2006 by Brigid Alverson

Well, vacation is over and people are posting! Just some quick links, as I’m writing on deadline today (for a paying gig).

At the MangaCast, Ed has mixed emotions about Tokyopop taking on Neighbor No. 13. And he mentions Stu Levy’s eight-part interview with Santa Inoue, another post that would have gotten lost if someone hadn’t spotted it.

Also on Tokyopop, Lillian Diaz-Pryzbyl goes all Elizabeth Barrett Browning over Off*beat.

ChunHyang72 adopts the imperative voice in Four Manga You Ought to Be Reading. And she’s right!

It’s a Hana-Kimi lovefest! (Via When Fangirls Attack.)

At the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Jason Yadao isn’t buying the Tokyopop exclusives. (Via Journalista.)

Ho hum: Naruto tops the Book Standard GN chart for the second week in a row.

Manga 101: Knife Tricks explains the manga thing. A fun read even if you already know it all. (Via When Fangirls Attack.) And the charmingly named AfterElton.com has a primer on gay relationships in manga, with a special focus on Gravitation.

    Yay! Another Kekkaishi fan has been found!! ^_^

    The appeal to readers of Rumiko Takahashi is a great one. I’ve been trying to come up with a description of what Kekkaishi reminds me of, and it’s that older style of relationship drama and comedy that Takahashi does so well.
