I think everyone comes to that point in their life where they just want to run away. It’s tempting, isn’t it? The idea of dropping everything — bills, debts, responsibilities, homework — is such a beautiful thought that it feels like paradise. It must be paradise. It should be paradise, doesn’t it? Natsume Ono attempts…
One of the things I dreaded when I moved to Australia was how I’m going to weed my precious manga collection. By then, my collection has blown out of proportion and to choose which ones to part with tore me apart. Quite literally, if you ask my heart. Painful as the process was, it had…
Hi everyone! Fujojocast is back! 😀 YAAAAAAY! So happy to do another Fujoshicast. This time, my guests are Rotch from Magnetic-rose.net and Blush, Ebichuu making weird sounds and murmurs, and Pirotess from Room801!
I had my hesitations in picking up Smells Like Green Spirit. First, it had a tacky title (seriously, it sounds like it attempts to be as cool as the Nirvana song). Second, the cover art for the first volume is odd. I can’t quite place other than “It doesn’t look like a BL title at all!â€
Perhaps those signs were telling about how unique this book really is.
I think there’s some of us who felt that a part of us died when Jmanga announced that they’re closing shop. I really liked Jmanga and I enjoyed the convenience of their service. But as with things digital, the idea that what I own disappears with their sites just sucks a lot. Other manga…
Comic Natalie releases another set of videos in their features section, Power Push. This time they tasked Natsume Ono and Rensuke Oshikiri to draw some illustrations of each other’s characters and wow… well… it’s always nice to see you favourite artists at work? Well there’s the fact that Ono draws on this large tablet. Not…
This week, I caught wind of this group of artists who call themselves the Year 85 Group, alluding to classic shoujo manga super power group, Year 24 Group. Technically, it should be Year 60 Group (Showa 60 is 1985), but you know what, it’s a cute reference in respect to the ladies who revolutionized shoujo…
Gaiz, as you know, I’m hooked on Kyoto Animation’s Free! So when a college friend who had plans to visit Sydney saw the end card of Free’s 11th episode, she immediately sent me a private message asking if we can go there. Now how am I to refuse a friend? More so have a chance…
This is an NHK documentary called Osamu Tezuka: Sousaku no Himitsu. It was done in 1985 and it looks at the man’s life, work, and contribution to Japan. If you didn’t know the amazing of Tezuka, then see a glimpse of it in this video. Fortunately, the uploader shared it with English subs too! This…
So gather 5 girls in skype to talk about Kyoto Animation’s and mayhem ensues. Well… we tried to behave. Kyoto Animation’s summer offering, Free, just ended last week and while our feels were still fresh, I gathered some friends to talk about their thoughts and emotions about the series. With me are some friends from…
