Missed Friday's Best & Worst Manga panel at #SDCC2022? Here's the complete list of picks from @BrigidAlverson, @omnicollector @LumRanmaYasha @LauraNeuzeth @JRLibrarian & me for now:
https://t.co/1iRRmJXz5h I'll later update with an audio/video version and a written transcript
While we’re making recommendations from @hellobarkada’s “Josei, not YA” panel at #SDCC2022, check out Wash Day Diaries fr @ChronicleBooks by @JamilaRowser - modern, grown-up romance! Listen to her @mangasplaining chat w/ @hermanos https://t.co/620zNcmD51 https://t.co/f2F6w1yeUA
Here’s more about a josei manga pick I mentioned in @hellobarkada’s “Josei, Not YA” #sdcc2022 panel: The Untouchable Midori-kun fr @KodanshaManga, a rom-com about childhood friends who meet again, ‘cept now she’s a porn star & he’s an uptight pop idol https://t.co/grYPaB8ZJk https://t.co/nIZFfA64p9
Even Though We’re Adults by Takako Shimura is one of our faves at @mangasplaining - two women stumble into a romantic relationship, even tho one of them is married. Nuanced and lovely https://t.co/vrAAKVOC8w https://t.co/bR1jZBJTuB
This is true. I admit to buying every volume of trashy/hot/guilty pleasure romance Fire In His Fingertips from @gomanga. ❤️🔥😅🧑🏻🚒https://t.co/z4rD8NY1hX https://t.co/WdwReU8xGx
FYI ! What “giga” in Giga Town means 👇🏻 More on our latest @mangasplaining manga license in our newsletter! https://t.co/FmfRG6hg95 https://t.co/J1jmxOGdKu
Ohhh noooo. Manga artist Akiko Higashimura (Princess Jellyfish) is getting into NFT artwork? 😬 check out the PR from @MediBang_Global for more on this:
If Giga Town creator Fumiyo Kouno sounds familiar, perhaps you’re familiar with her other works in English, like “In This Corner of the World” (fr @gomanga) and “Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms” (fr @lastgaspbooks) https://t.co/FmfRG6hg95
Why is it called “Giga Town” and not its descriptive subtitle “Manpu Zufu (A Catalog of Manga Symbols)”? Because the “giga” in Giga Town refers to its animal characters who were inspired by the “Choju-jinbutsu-giga,” the famous “frolicking animals scroll” https://t.co/FmfRG6hg95
We won’t be serializing Giga Town on our @mangasplaining extra newsletter like we did for Okinawa, but between now and the book’s release in Spring 2023, we’ll feature some of the “manpu” comics from Giga Town and look at examples of the manpu in action in other comics
