@comicsbeat I thought this was an interesting side note in the NPD Bookscan report about graphic novel sales in 2021:
"These charts reflect adjusted figures that remove My Hero Academia from the Superhero category where they are counted due to BISAC misnumbering" https://t.co/IIRfw9KYNp
Psst. If you want to get the first chapter of Okinawa by Susumu Higa in your inbox tomorrow morning, sign up for the @mangasplaining Extra newsletter today. Free & paid subscribers alike will get a full chapter of this manga to read: https://t.co/FI4Ul5sW1M
Okinawa by Susumu Higa is a title that @Comics212 championed long before MSX @SubstackInc came up. It's translated by @brainvsbook, edited by Andrew Woodrow-Butcher & will be published in print by @fantagraphics (fun fact: my grandparents are from Okinawa) https://t.co/FI4Ul5sW1M
So more about our first 2 @mangasplaining Extra manga titles that we'll be serializing via our MSX newsletter: first, Okinawa by Susumu Higa is a collection of short stories about the complicated history of the island before, during & after WWII https://t.co/KvDsjp38AX

In our @mangasplaining episode about the Kamen Rider manga, we mention the merchandising power of Kamen Rider — but i didnt know that there’s a line of Kamen Rider sneakers? https://t.co/co7jQpRsOP
The second match-up in Record of Ragnarok (which starts in Vol. 2) is the unlikely pair of old man Zeus and the first man, Adam. How this fight starts and who wins in the end is... well, it's kind of crazy, like the rest of RoR - https://t.co/7hfK1rSB4E
Also on the Kamen Rider episode of @mangasplaining, we go on another @vizmedia Manga Blind Date! This time, we read the over-the-top fightin' manga, Record of Raganrok vol. 1 & 2. Check out a preview here: https://t.co/7hfK1s9E6E
Like Devilman, there's a modern reboot version of the Kamen Rider story: Kamen Rider Spirits by Kenichi Muraeda from Kodansha. This 30 vol series focuses on the first 10 Kamen Riders and has story continuity that the original kinda lacked. Pity it's not available in English yet
Given how popular Kamen Rider is, it's shocking that an English version of the manga created by Shotaro Ishinomori was not available until the digital-only versions from @ishimoripro were added to @comixology, along w/ Kikaider & Inazuman in 2012-13 https://t.co/J05dx0mf2B
