Another MINTERVIEW is out! Love Kohinata’s work, I’m glad for the chance to spotlight her on Yatta-Tachi

MINTERVIEW: Marco Kohinata and Yuki Yamaguchi Adam interviews manga artist Marco Kohinata (Akari) and HERO’S INC editor Yuki Yamaguchi as part of the MINT Manga Project.

it briefly comes up in this history of english webfiction i wrote for crunchyroll news. although keep in mind, the stuff folks read on royalroad today is influenced as much by webnovels from china or japan as it is by worm and its peers

one thing that has changed since i wrote this article--kakao retreated from the english language market, and wuxiaworld bought back its independence. the world of webfiction is now less consolidated than it has been, even as the medium has made inroads in traditional publishing

if you're wondering "what is worm," well. it's like the english web serial community's sword art online? not necessarily the best or the most successful, but it was a turning point in the community's history

i still have some love in my heart for the undersiders, so i'm curious to see how this shakes out. the original worm web serial has some good stuff in it, just buried in an overlong and unfinished first draft

i do think that pitching this at regular comics readers is a mistake, though? the superhero direct comic market is tiny. i also suspect one reason worm blew up was that its readers didn't actually read that many superhero comics for comparison

i'm surprised that this is not a webtoon or an edited novel release. also, i hope the new version of this story is less racist than the original

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...

NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

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!

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

finished dramatic road: the origin of wind. now, while it can't hold a candle to the expansive world map, impressive visuals, and immaculate OST of fortune's weave, it might be one of the best SRPGs I have ever played and also it completely fucking -nailed- the finale. it's ludo.

During the Q&A, I asked: “Since you talked about needing to be economical in 3 panels, can you speak about any of your own self-imposed limitations when you work on a comic?” Beetle Moses gave a great answer describing a bunch more about his creative process :D
