I thought a fun idea for this section would be a listing of some of the more popular Japanese manga magazines out there (whether they be weekly or monthly) for those of you in a position to find them. (I wish there were more places around here, I’ve been searching for the June edition of Animedia for the past three weeks!) I had a little help from good ol’ Wikipedia to put this together – might help you decide whether to purchase or not, and tell the difference between them, if you can’t read Japanese!
