Manga Moveable Feast kicks off with Barefoot Gen

Sam Kusek is hosting this month’s Manga Moveable Feast at A Life in Panels, and he starts us off with an introduction to Barefoot Gen, the topic of this month’s feast. Ed Sizemore pinch-hits for the first day with a roundup of links at Comics Worth Reading.

Melinda Beasi rounds up the latest Korean comics news in her latest Manhwa Monday post at Manga Bookshelf, and Melinda teams up with Kate Dacey, Michelle Smith, and David Welsh to discuss their picks of the week.

Having trouble finding Seven Seas manga in your local bookstore? Now you can read them on the Nook (and also on the Nook app for iPad, etc.).
