Things of Interest
Some interesting articles concerning manga. Yeah, its going to quite a few. I'm catching up on news, and I thought I should pass a few of the interesting ones along.
Interview: Keiko Takemiya Creator of To Terra, Andromeda Stories, and Song of Wind and Trees (Kaze to Ki no Uta - not US released). This was quite an interesting interview.
Japan Comes Together to Fight Shoplifting, which should also be in that article title. IC Tagging books. Should be interesting to see if it helps reduce shoplifting. Radio frequency tags do have limitations though, from what I learned in a class presentation this last semester.
Iris Print Tells Its Story and Asks for Help! Small publisher of yaoi/gay material needing help. I personally haven't gotten anything from them (haven't really sat down and read the demo disc I have from them), but I understand how it is with small businesses. So, if you're interested, take a look!
The Cost of Building a Gundam. A Real Gundam. Woo! And it only costs $724,310,000! But it won't be as awesome as ones in anime.
Genshiken Mangaka Interviewed! For all those on my flist who are interested. Also related to this is the announcement of Del Rey Licenses Kujibiki Unbalance.
How to Read Manga Without Going Broke Some useful tips there. Haven't tried most of the stores on the listings for no. 7. But Anime Castle does sell bootleg CDs (I think that's what we found at one time), so if you don't want to give to a store like that, there you are.
