Do you know the way to San Diego?

If you’re headed to San Diego Comic-Con this week, make MTV Geek your first stop. I’ve compiled a list of all the major manga events, as well as a list of the manga publishers that will be exhibiting on the show floor. Planning to attend on Saturday? Be sure to check out The Best and Worst Manga of 2012 session, in which an all-star panel of manga pundits will discuss the year’s most memorable titles.

Tokyopop has been asking fans, via Twitter, if they would like to see more OEL manga. Sean Kleefeld has some thoughts on that, and on what might have been.

At 2Chan, Shii translates a discussion of changes to an end-note from Osamu Tezuka’s early manga Magic House.
