Remember that manga article I wrote last summer? This weekend, the New England Press Association awarded it a third prize for Arts and Entertainment Reporting, Alternative Weekly category.
I also received a third prize in the Social Issues Feature Story category, for a story about an artist who explores domestic violence in her work, and a first prize in Reporting on Religious Issues, for this piece about a theologian’s response to The Da Vinci Code.
OK, back to your regularly scheduled MangaBlog.

The DaVinci code was not a great book, but it does do a good job of raising stupid questions. Great essay.
