The manga news seems to be running a bit dry at the moment, but I’ll be at Ohayocon in Columbus, OH, USA this weekend and hopefully I’ll find some new material to write on!

In the meantime, I’ll note that Tokyopop’s 6th “Rising Stars of Manga” contest will be closing on January 13th, a little more than a week from today. Check out the prizes and the rules on their website - some of the fabulous entries in previous years were showcased in a tankubon, and as I reported a few weeks back, two Rising Stars will begin running in U.S. newspapers as of this month. So if you’ve got some drawing talent and a little extra time, have a look at this before the contest closes!
