Another promising trend we discussed in our @mangasplaining MASSIVE episode is how more gay stories are in mainstream manga magazines. What Did You Eat Yesterday led to My Brother's Husband, I Think My Son is Gay, My Solo Exchange Diary & more https://t.co/gsYvUFzPiK
Another fun manga connection/comparison made in our @mangasplaining MASSIVE episode is connecting "mildly erotic humanoid helper" Kandagawa-kun by Inu Yoshi with Absolute Boyfriend, Chobits and Video Girl Ai. https://t.co/gsYvUFzPiK
Also, more Kaiji >_< plus streaming tears 😭 from Tricked Into Becoming The Heroine’s Stepmother by Hariheen & Mokgamgi on @webtoonofficial
Another frequent manga reference in webtoons is the “shojo manga no-pupil eyes”/shock reaction ala Glass Mask. Japanese with Anime explains the origins of this manga visual trope: https://t.co/8XudtAi2OY (webtoon is Taming My Boss by Jeon Heyjin/Sunjung on @LezhinComics_US)
Starting a collection of manga references in webtoons. Not surprising that gambling manga Kaiji makes frequent appearances in webtoons. From Lookout for Love by horangrang & Taroman on @LezhinComics_US (Kaiji available now fr @denpa_books)
Another topic that came up in conversation at #ax2022 was the rise of content from korea & china. In a show like AX that expressly focuses on entertainment content originally produced in japan and fans who don’t care what country it’s from as long as it’s good, what next for AX?
.@DarkHorseComics at #AX2022 - so OTHER than Berserk and Lone Wolf & Cub, what's Dark Horse's other big selling manga series now? Would you believe Danganronpa? WELPH, it's true. https://t.co/VGtw6V9QhE
.@DarkHorseComics at #AX2022 - More behind the scenes manga stories from Michael Gombos: Did you know that the FLCL manga has sold more in N. America than it has in Japan? Well, now you do. ;-) https://t.co/2yRsSLM4uh
.@DarkHorseComics at #AX2022 - New-ish series! Cat + Gamer by Wataru Nadatani. Serious office-worker by day, hardcore gamer by night, Riko's life is upended when she adopts a kitten. With no prior experience as a pet owner, can she master this new skill? https://t.co/E8i9SAbEKy
