The folks at Morning 2 have done their initial screening for the 2nd International Manga Competition, and 31 creators and teams have made the cut. They are from all over, too; the only Americans U.S. creators in the group are Jared Hodges and Lindsay Cibos, the creators of Peach Fuzz.
UPDATE: Urgh, feel free to yell at me if I do this again—I swear I checked the list for this, but I somehow missed several other Americans: Kosma Gatner of Canada, Bernando Fernandez (Bef) of Mexico, and Enrique David Guzman Pinto of Chile, all from the same hemisphere as me.
