So I recently made my first adult cross country trip to CA hitting two places San Francisco and Los Angles. Being from New York, and the East coast. It was a slight culture shock, that made me question how I would survive if I were to move to other p...

Since the earthquake last year, there has been an outpouring of support and awareness. As with the consequences of natural disasters, it is an ongoing process. Last year Makoto Yamaguchi, a prominent Japanese origami creator, author and mentor began...

As an adult manga reader, I am a fan for what I can read that won’t be necessarily targeted toward teenagers. So I was quite happy to be able to read the variety that Sigikki books publishes. As a regular contributor toward Manga Movable Feasts, I am...

I often watch kids, and being an adult myself, I can attest to the fact that transitioning into an adult is pretty hard. It is even more hard if parents are no longer there. After the death of his father, Mitsu takes over his job as a window cleaner....

An aspect of Black Lagoon manga that stands out is just how many gun fighting scenes there is. My experience with series is similar to other readers of this series as being initially exposed to the anime, but Viz has translated the manga superbly. Th...

I always thought that Bokurano was another retelling of Evangelion since this is a story about youths forced to large alien invaders, while piloting within an ever-changing organic mecha themselves. On another aspect though, with reading the story af...

By Gunya Mihara Recently I was able to read Kamen volume 1, an ongoing yet compiled doujinshi from Gen Manga. Initially I was given the impression of Utawarerumono, since the protagonist is wearing a mask, and the setting is a “historical warring” pi...

Collaborations are always potential grounds for creative insights and positive cultural exchanges. Japan As Viewed By 17 Creators is an example of such. Nine French speaking authors were invited to tour eight cities in Japan, where eight Japanese cre...

I definitely am planning to review Taniguchi’s Kodoku no Gourmet next week for MMF. So this is going to be a bit of a sidetrack. This is something I read recently that left me with such a warm feeling, that I can’t help but gush over it here. It hit...

Recently have spent time organizing and reshuffling my bookshelf. Until I can keep my bookshelf organize, I doubt my bookshelves would even look as neat or as awesome as a recent “Show us your stuff” category I see over at Kate‘s (Manga Critic’s) blo...

I was quite hoping to finish reading Princess Knight to write a review, since this week I have been mostly writing essays of sorts. Unfortunately I felt my patience ran out for the story of Sapphire. So I am falling back to another book I have been c...

Osamu Tezuka as a creator had left life far too soon, and a legacy that had an industry earning trillions and probably facing collapse. But the latter part of the prior sentence is obviously another can of worms, and not going to be focus of this art...

We’re going into the second month of the Western new year, and we’re still in the midst of the Lunar New Year….which I forego mentioning or doing much about this year. I really must try to pick up myself from my dredges. It has been a rough personal...

Of the manga that Usamaru Furuya has written that has been published into English, the one I have read is Lychee Light Club. That I read in about half an hour, concluding with a four word expletive. It was a dark roller coaster ride that is definitel...

This is entry is probably going to highlight a wish that Kodansha hurries up with releasing Sailor Moon. Or my bias on not being able to successfully separate the anime from the manga. But yes people can call me a serious Chibiusa hater… and that’s t...

Every fan has a different story or exposure, a definitely entry to go read about why this is such a huge impact is Erica’s article. Sailor Moon has become for me an action heroine that in spite of how her personality is, and of how Japanese woman thi...
