We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Librarians in the New York area mark your calenders. Make sure the patrons that read manga are aware of the appearance of Natsume Ono. Natsume Ono, sponsored by Viz Media, the Japanese store chain Kinokuniya and the Japanese publisher Ohta Shuppan, will be at the New York location of Kinokuniya on Tuesday May 10, at 7:00 p.m. Readers will know her from House of Five Leaves, Ristorante Paradiso and Gente. Thanks to Anime News Network for the info.
