Dream of Red Mansions - enjoy! It's one of the Great Books....I read it when pregnant with my first child, thinking that I might never have time to read something that long again. There's nothing...
Yeah, not surprised to see Star Wars Resistance here - a glance at the CBR main page this morning showed only two product images that didn't feature white men - one was this, the other was a...
This post is costing me some courage, but it's something I really want to know what people think about.
You can attract plenty of criticism drawing comics of people from the same ethnic background...
I guess most of us only know either the east or the west in detail. I don't know that much about animation, but Japanese manga has the advantage of a hugely diversified market. It may not be very...
I ran across this recently - love the variant endings idea. The art style is a good match for the game concept and period, I think. There was a lot of explanation of the characters - that's not in...
Kenrantaru Grande Scene (The glorious grande scene) is up to volume 8 in trade paperbacks in Japan! I haven't read it, but I'm a little bit interested in her short-lived Renaissance artist series,...
Ueda Rinko's Maria no Shiro = Maria's Castle
Love the ketchup art! Glad you had such a good time.

Good! I'm interested in informative comics, but I've learned to expect little. Backderf produced a book that really USED comics effectively to produce a readable book....
Some sad news, maybe already well known to some of you, but Jiro Taniguchi (The Lonely Gourmet, The Summit of the Gods, and a contributor to the Louvre manga series) died Saturday 11 February aged...
Maid cafe...ho hum...surprisingly, my vote would go to Tokyo Burlesque! Let us know which you picked.
Akiba's Trip? No - must look for it! I enjoy the new Akihabara, but I kind of miss the old Akihabara - still spend more time in the backstreet shops with the cardboard boxes! Though I can't say I...
Kono Manga ga Sugoi! lists for 2017 - I looked at this recently and picked up a few titles I hadn't seen around, including Kabi NAGATA's Sabishisugite Lesbian Fuuzoku ni Ikimashita Report (various...

I actually read a lot of English comics, because I like to share them with Japanese people.
I don't have a particular genre that I follow in manga....there are so many manga, and I totally believe...
"He/she lies like a rug" is one of my favorites.
Blaft Anthology of Tamil Pulp Fiction, vols. I, II
This is a really interesting collection of different approaches to illustrated prose fiction. Per square inch, comics can give you more...
I'm curious about this "majority": do you mean the majority of people who plot, write, and draw creator-owned comics? From my limited understanding of North American comics, that's not a lot of...
@ukami0 twitter address for "Ukami", author of Gabriel Dropout. In Japanese, but lots of pix (incld. retweets from other artists), and pixiv account info.

Kaoru Mori Otoyome Monogatari / Bride's Story) shown in posts above is one of my favorite artists.
I will add a few images later from other mangaka...
I care about them and read them when I can find them and afford them, but they are pretty hard to get right. I think a survey or haphazard collection of essays can date very fast, and without a Big...
I was a bit confused by your question, because "prose" made me think that you meant comics with little or no dialog (i.e. the story is given in little boxed-off chunks of prose). To me, "sequential...
Planetes, excellent choice! Attack on Titan....haven't seen the anime because I got so bored with the manga! But that's just me, lots of readers enjoy the fight scenes that just make me start...
Heck yeah, most definitely let's talk about female comics readers! I live in Japan, and so comics readers are a broader group than in any English-speaking country. I was already very interested in...
I think it's a very cool idea. Your zooms and changes are a bit whiplash-inducing, but keep going!
