As part of our conversation about shojo manga on the My Love Mix-Up! episode of @mangasplaining, in the show notes, I explain why Fruits Basket is probably *not* a great pick for "people who haven't read much manga before." https://t.co/0Q9wHkSFj1

But as @zdarsky said in our My Love Mix-Up! episode of @mangasplaining (https://t.co/0Q9wHkSFj1), he isn't just a seinen manga kind of guy! in fact, some of his past faves include Tokyo Tarareba Girls and BL Metamorphosis... but is he. ready for more shojo manga? well now...

@DennisSinneD @MiguelECorti @mangasplaining indeed it is! @yenpress has Sadako at the End of the World, by Koma Natsumi in English - https://t.co/CgUmhCXF6U. @hermanos gave it a shoutout on the Our Dining Table episode! https://t.co/EQd1JMQrKp

OMG - after many months of no new releases, @KodanshaManga is resuming publication of shamisen manga Those Snow White Notes by Marimo Ragawa on May 31 w/ volume 9! https://t.co/UKJD6PiGJR

@kharyrandolph @JoanneStarer @SubstackInc One neat thing about Sirens in the City is how it evokes the eclectic tribes of late '80s downtown NYC - b-boys, cyberpunks, goths & trust fund babies dressed like dope dealers - read chapter 1 for free, as part of Free Comic Book day on @SubstackInc - https://t.co/ovjDjFilov

This reference to Nyarome, the wacky cat from Fujio Akatsuka’s Moretsu Ataru was a little easier to spot in the wall of graffiti in Taiyo Matsumoto’s Ping Pong

Also - from that wall of graffiti in Ping Pong: i think this is Dai from @shonenjump series Dragon Quest: The Adventures of Dai? (Vol 1 available now from @VIZMedia) https://t.co/Y8JqWHYNN9

I also missed a few things in this panel of wall graffiti from Ping Pong - shoutouts to BD legends Enki Bilal and Moebius

and finally, after My Love Mix-Up will be something with a little more grown-up perspective, All My Darling Daughters, a collection of josei short stories by Fumi Yoshinaga fr. @VIZMedia - https://t.co/C5bxPErSNB

and, as I mentioned earlier, @comics212's next @mangasplaining pick is Cross Game vol 1 by Mitsuru Adachi, a touching, fun and memorable manga that's more than just about baseball fr. @VIZMedia - https://t.co/DDVaBzAfm7
