I keep forgetting to update TokyoMango with the posts I've been doing on Boing Boing. In case you haven't already been obsessively visiting the most wonderful blog in the world, here are some of the things I've written about in the past week or so:
- A new law in China that will humiliate jaywalkers by posting their photos in public;
- A couple that got married in a funeral home;
- An ancient Mayan underworld discovered in Mexico;
- German comic book art commissioned by Harajuku's La Foret;
- Calligraphic manga about Musashi by Slam Dunk artist Takehiko Inuoe;
- Winged cats!
- An in-depth Japanese humor tutorial;
- Akino Kondoh's Ladybirds' Requiem;
and
- An awesome music video showing the Japanese electropop version of an French sixties pop song.
Also, Mark posted a fascinating article about women who hire professional seducers to induce divorce.
Inoue is a an awesome artist, Slam Dunk and Vagabond are great manga.
I was wondering though, have you come across Inoue's newest manga リアル? I think it's a really interesting middle ground in his mangas.
