Talkin’ Black Jack

Sean Gaffney takes us through this week’s new manga at A Case Suitable for Treatment.

Erica Friedman brings the latest from the world of yuri at Okazu.

Sam Kusek posts seventh and last days’ worth contributions to the Manga Moveable Feast discussion of Barefoot Gen.

Kate Dacey, David Welsh, and Melinda Beasi have a roundtable discussion on vols. 12 and 13 of Black Jack at Manga Bookshelf.

David Welsh asks his readers: Which manga would you like to see rescued from license limbo?

I’m somewhat tardy in linking this, but Matt Blind has worked out the cumulative manga best-seller charts for the third and fourth quarters of 2010, based on online sales. He also teases out the numbers a bit to see what they can tell him.

Reviews: Johanna Draper Carlson takes a quick look at some new Shojo Beat releases at Comics Worth Reading. Anna checks out some Harlequin manga about pregnant women and millionaires at Manga Report.

  1. Thank you for linking to the Matt Blind information. I really like looking at sales figures to get a sense of how my favourite publishers are doing. It makes for an interesting comparison to the Tilting at Windmills summary for 2010 (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=30752). Seems like manga on a whole had another difficult year in 2010.
