With the recent news about the passing of Chiba Tetsuya (creator of Ashita no Joe), I'd highly recommend watching last year's episode of Manben that spotlighted him. It's amazing to watch a veteran of their craft at work and there are a lot of charming moments. archive.org/details/manb...

Just saw this amazing image of Tetsuya Chiba holding omnibus 4 of Kodansha USA's English release of Ashita no Joe. I can't help but see his face & imagine he's thinking "Took you Americans THIS long to finally release my manga in English, huh? Well, better late than never." RIP

I’ve been reading about Kobayashi Yoshinori for decades, but I’ve never actually read any of his manga. I mean, I don’t particularly feel the need to do so. www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/10...

This is probably the 3rd or 4th time I’ve “fixed” my car key like this. Hey, it works. Sort of. Until it doesn’t. And then I do it again.

Imagine singing in front of your whole high school — with your family playing backup!

I of course loved him as Chekov, but playing Bester on BABYLON 5 really showed his range. You really forgot the guy ever *was* Chekov in that role. RIP Walter Koenig.

Resharing here for those who might have missed this announcement from earlier in October. Peow2 will be releasing the english edition of Phantom Core by Yasushi Nirasawa in the spring of 2027. Production is currently underway!

Georgie, a lively girl growing up in the Australian countryside, embarks on a journey to England after meeting a young English noble named Lowell, hoping to uncover the truth about her roots. Discover Georgie, the beloved classic shojo manga, coming to Omoi Spring 2027! @mangamavericks.bsky.social

We’ve teamed up with Manga Mavericks Books to bring Georgie to our digital platform in Spring 2027, while Manga Mavericks will publish a stunning Deluxe Edition of the series! Our digital edition will use Manga Mavericks' translation, the same one they're using for the print version!

Pre-orders really go a long way in ensuring that we at @mangamavericks.bsky.social can keep doing these premium format releases! Manga fans really showed up for The Sword of Paros, and I'm hoping we see similar strong support for Georgie too!

Disabled people like me who can't read paper books have been shut out of a lot of releases of older manga, so I'm extra grateful for the access to this batch. I'll be reading them, for sure.

Some folks (including licensors!) have this idea that the only people who will read classic manga are collectors, but we think there are digital readers who will fall in love with The Sword of Paros, Georgie, and Delinquent Detective: Sukeban Deka when they can try them out via a subscription!

I have been so excited to tell you about this. It's another gorgeous deluxe edition of a classic shoujo!

Georgie is one of those manga that I don't know how we managed to license...but we did it. 😅 The English release is being handled by the exact same team as The Sword of Paros, so it's in great hands, and we're putting our all into making it the best release possible!

I enjoyed how Jack Webb avoided clichéd cop lingo. Instead of “shut up,” he’d bark “that’s enough of that,” and in lieu of “don’t move or I’ll blow your head off,” he snarled, “Flinch and you'll be chasing your head down Fifth Street.”
