I won’t be around for most of tomorrow, as I’ll be working at the polls for the state primary. And if you’re a Massachusetts resident, don’t hang around reading blogs all day—go vote! As it happens, our primary day falls on September 19, which is Talk Like a Pirate Day, opening up some interesting possibilities: “Put yer mark right there, ye scurvy dog! Aaar!”
In the meantime, here are a few links to keep you going.
David Welsh devotes this week’s Flipped column to a dialogue with John Jakala about Bleach. And check David’s blog, Precocious Curmudgeon, for his review of Secret Comics Japan.
And at Sporadic Sequential, Jakala takes a page from Christopher Butcher’s book and writes an open letter to Dark Horse, chiding them for letting their schedule slip so badly.
Buzzscope gives Omukae Desu a so-so review, while Erin reads some manga for smart people.
At Icarus Comics (NSFW and damn proud of it), Simon Jones bemoans the lack of ero-manga on the Diamond top 300 and puts in his two cents on the anthology question.
New on the blogroll: Deutsche Mangaka, a blog in English about the German global manga scene, featuring translations of manga and articles. Go check it out!
And don’t forget to vote.
