Good news for Nana fans

Posted on November 27, 2007 by Brigid Alverson

Nana is back, according to translator Tomo Kimura, who writes in her blog that mangaka Ai Yazawa stated on her mobile site that she is fully recovered from the illness that caused her to take a hiatus from the comic.

At Otaku Champloo, a manga about bacteria makes Khursten reflect on the wide range of material that manga uses.

Reviews: At Manganews, Snow is creeped out a bit by a teen pseudo-incest comedy, vol. 1 of Cherry Juice. Erin F. reviews Spring Fever and I Shall Never Return, two titles from new yaoi publisher Deux, at Manga Recon. Michelle reviews vol. 18 of Bleach at Soliloquy in Blue.
