If posting seems spotty and terse lately, it’s because my father is in the hospital and I’m not around the Internets much at the moment. Here are today’s early highlights:
The new Sequential Tart is up, and a quick glance shows that Margaret O’Connell has a thorough critique of Hybrid Child. There’s also a nice review of Agnes Quill by David Roman, the creator of Astronaut Elementary.
Mechademia is an academic journal about manga and anime. Every now and then I read a book (at the moment it’s After School Nightmare) and think “There’s a PhD thesis in this.” Maybe I should send them some suggestions.
While the rest of us are just gearing up for Christmas, David Welsh is looking over the Previews Valentine’s Day suggestions.
Happy blogiversary to It can’t all be about manga… Drop by and congratulate Cathy on a year of insightful blogging.
From ComiPress, the Japanese government spends some ad dollars on manga.
Yaoi Suki reviews Your Honest Deceit.
*hugs* I hope your father gets well soon; you’ll both be in my prayers.
Best wishes to your father. :)
Thanks, both of you. He seems to be doing better and we’re hoping he’ll be out of the hospital later today.
