Morning Paper, 11/30/09

Editor’s note: I’m testing out a new format for a new blog this week. That’s why there’s actual content here. I know, shocking!

The best part of waking up is Melon Bread and Milk Coffee. Let’s get right to it:

  • WSJ on the Industry (The Beat - cheers, MangaBlog) - A collection of reviews of articles from the Wall Street Journal (a fine source for manga-related news, let me tell you!) about how the anime industry is mistreating their staff and how Koreans are downloading their manhwa a whole lot. One of the hazards of having the world’s most prolific internet, I guess.
  • Yukari Shiina Interview (Eigo de Anime Manga [JAPANESE]) - Felipe Smith’s agent and all-around international manga expert Yukari Shiina did an interview with the Japanese magazine Shōsetsu Gendai, which hit newsstands in Japan about a week ago. Having met Shiina-san myself, I’m pretty sure she put in a good word for non-Japanese manga creators. ^^
  • To hell with Melon Pan - I’m having Spicy Maggot Stew. (Seven Seas)
Time to go do other work…
