18.42
Most Anticipated Manga: Heart of Thomas (Moto Hagio). It was one of the seminal BL titles. #sdcc #manga
18.41
Alverson was especially irritated by the dog. That’s funny I thought he was the best part of the story. #sdcc #manga #kobato
18.40
Worst: Kobata (CLAMP): reading it is like being punched in the nose (Brigid Alverson). I did think the anime was boring…#sdcc #manga
18.39
Worst: My Girlfriend’s a Geek (Rize Shinba and Pentabu). About a guy who dates a yaoi/BL fangirl. @debaoki thinks the guy is pussywhipped! #sdcc #manga
18.38
The anime of Kore wa Zombie Desu-ka? was my dumb fun pick at the time. I guess this sort of thing doesn’t work in #manga? #sdcc
18.38
WORST list begins! Kore wa Zombie Desu-ka manga…Carlos Santo liked the anime, actually, but not the manga. #sdcc #manga
18.36
Saturn Apartments (Hisae Iwaoka). Idea is that there is a ring colony around a ruined earth. Story is about a window washer. #sdcc #manga

Best continuing manga for adults: A Bride’s Story (Kaoru Mori). Set in Central Asia in the middle ages. #sdcc #manga

Arisa (Natsumi Ando, creator of Kitchen Princess): a surprisingly dark and twisted story. #sdcc #manga
18.28

18.27
Next: Wandering Son (Takako Shimura). See our review here: http://animediet.net/reviews/manga-reviews/the-wandering-son #sdcc #manga

18.24
Next: Cross Game (Mitsuru Adachi). Still haven’t watched most of the anime though I loved episodes 1-2. #sdcc #manga
18.22
Apparently the manga and anime story diverges around volume 5. Recommended for fans of Fullmetal Alchemist. #sdcc #manga
18.22
Continuing manga for kids/teens: Blue Exorcist. Personally I was never into the anime. Is the #manga better? #sdcc
18.20
Tesoro and La Quinta Camera (Natsume Ono). Ono has struck me as being the closest #manga has to a literary writer. #sdcc
18.18
Drops of God, the wine manga. No surprise this is @debaoki’s pick, I’ve heard her rave about it a lot. Wish I could drink again… #sdcc #manga
18.16

18.15
At this let me say once again: CELTY IS LOVE #durarara #sdcc #manga
18.15
Durarara!! manga (Ryohgo Narita, AKiyo Satoriigi, Suzuhito Yasuda). Wasn’t this an anime original? #sdcc #manga

18.12

Mizuki is also the author of Ge Ge Ge Kitaro and Onwards to Our Noble Deaths, btw. #sdcc #manga
18.10
NoNonBa (Shigeru Mizuki). Mizuki only has one arm due to war injuries. And is still alive. #sdcc #manga
18.07

18.06
Next: A Devil and Her Love Song (Miyoshi Tomori). #sdcc #manga
18.05
Next on the list: Tezuka’s Princess Knight, which is considered the first proper shoujo manga. #sdcc #manga

Comments and Trackbacks
@gendomike Yes and now the manga is being released in the States.
@gendomike Series was decent! Clearly aimed at th girls cause the brothers
@gendomike YOU ARE AWESOME! Kore wa zombie <3
@gendomike so are they saving why bleach is the best manga for the final part of the discussion?
@gendomike Whoa that is fast typing for the best manga panel.. hehe.. I wrote a review for Onwards to Our Noble Deaths over @animediet ^_^
@gendomike Correction.. Durarara was a light novel then manga.. and then anime… there’s 10 vols for the light novels. Manga is ongoing.
@gendomike Natsume Ono is FTW! I am waiting eventually for her bl titles to be licensed, as well as her police one to be in English.
@gendomike Manga for Blue Exorcist is okay, never watched the anime… very much a Soul Eater meets D Grey Man feel?
Mike… sufficiently and utterly jealous.. if you don’t see me spamming your twitter..as of now.. (sighs).. This is such a cool panel. ^_^ Sounds similar to other panels I have been to re: about Manga, but such a powerhouse of panelists. ^_^
@gendomike There’s 20+ volumes for 20th Century Boys. You’ll definitely like this. ^_^
@gendomike This is a lovely series.. A Bride’s Story that is. I love the HC treatment. ^_^
@gendomike Saturn Apartments is such a great slice of life, you should definitely read it. ^_^ I rec it!
@gendomike My Girlfriend’s A Geek is also based on a Japanese book… that has plenty of im/text messages.
@gendomike Kobato designs are good, but the manga and anime goes no where… so not surprising.
@gendomike Wheeeee to Kitaro!!!!!!!!!! ^_^
