Crunchyroll update

As folks start to sample Crunchyroll’s manga service, Deb Aoki talks to the folks behind it about their plans for the future (including more series from more publishers) and the bloggers at Organization Anti-Social Geniuses discuss their thoughts and hopes for the service.

Over at Robot 6, I took a look at the Kuroko’s Basketball story; because of an ongoing series of threat letters, a number of doujinshi events have been cancelled, and now the letter writer is targeting retail stores, resulting in some stores removing the manga from the shelves and 7 Eleven pulling their Kuroko’s Basketball themed snacks.

Despite some initial doubts, the Digital Manga Guild seems to be going strong; Justin interviews editor Lindley Warmington about her work at Organization Anti-Social Geniuses.

Ben Huber has some fun with a make-your-own-manga book.
