JManga, fanfiction, and Viz’s meager offerings for Apple outsiders

Start your manga reading this morning with Deb Aoki’s super coverage of the JManga.com launch, with a complete transcript of the JManga panel at SDCC and interviews with the panelists.

Lori Henderson, meanwhile, is not satisfied with the Viz app because it offers more to iOS users than web and Android users.

Lori also posts this week’s all ages manga and comics at Good Comics for Kids.

The Manga Bookshelf bloggers pull up their chairs for a roundtable discussion on fanfiction.

The Ninja Consultants post audio of their NYCC Culinary Manga panel.

Alex Hoffman analyzes the character Chiba in Wandering Son.

At Kuriousity, Lissa Pattillo opens up the swag bag and discusses some recent finds.
