Posted on January 24, 2011 by Brigid Alverson

The Manga Moveable Feast celebration of Karakuri Odette continues with a Manga Out Loud podcast devoted to the topic and Johanna Draper Carlson’s review of vols. 4 and 5. And at Experiments in Manga, Ash Brown has an interesting essay applying the three laws of robotics to Odette and her android companions.

Lissa Patillo has cover images and some thoughts on the new manga announced last week by Digital Manga.
