Quick links (in transit)

Posted on March 16, 2011 by Brigid Alverson

I’m on the train on my way to C2E2, so my internet access is limited, but I wanted to catch up with a few quick links.

I gathered up the latest stories about Japan and the anime/manga community at Robot 6, including a number of blogger and artist fund-raising initiatives.

Rob McMonigal continues his year-long appreciation of Rumiko Takahashi with a look at One-Pound Gospel.

David Welsh reaches the letter G in his josei alphabet. Also, David gives his take on About.com’s 2011 Manga Readers Choice Awards.

David, Melinda Beasi, and Kate Dacey discuss their pick of the week at Manga Bookshelf.

    Actually, that’s volume 2 of Genkaku Picasso, since there is no volume 4. :)

    Thanks, Kris, I fixed it. Sorry! It’s been a long couple of days with lots of work and little sleep—hopefully now that I’m taking a break to go to C2E2 I can be a little more focused.
