Quick trot ’round the news sites

Posted on October 30, 2007 by Brigid Alverson

I’m rushing out the door this morning but will be back later with more news and commentary.

The Manga Recon blog presents this week’s new manga and a review of Osamu Tezuka’s MW, which is so good they are giving away free copies! Details at the link.

Remember that scene in Megatokyo when Piro turns to shoujo manga for advice about his life? In a special Halloween Flipped column, David Welsh does the same thing with horror manga.

At Panels and Pixels, Chris Mautner looks at horror manga as well.

Comicsnob has another edition of The Pulse, their summary of online manga sales, along with the top 100 volumes and top 25 series.

Yen Press has licensed three yaoi titles by Lily Hoshino: Love Quest (Rabu Kue), Mr. Flower Bride (Hanayome-kun), and Mr. Flower Groom (Hanamuko-san).

If you read French, check out Xavier Guilbert’s essay on Ode to Kirihito at du9. If you don’t, just relax, they will probably translate it soon.

Tiamat’s Disciple presents overviews of Flame of Recca and Full Moon O Sagashite.

Elae updates the list of new releases in Germany.

John T looks at vol. 1 of Uzumaki at Mecha Mecha Media.

    There was an episode of Tenchi Muyo where Ryoko and Ayeka used shoujo manga for real-life tips.

    It didn’t work out so well.
