Kind of surprising to see that Horikoshi was thinking about a yellow cape for Deku this early on (chapter 84)

As usual, Sentai has some really good deals for Black Friday. This is a great year to pick up Run with the Wind!

I refuse to google whether “Angel’s Egg” is an egg of a different species that the angel possesses or the embryonic form of the angel.

The greatest comic short story of all time. The original Peanuts strip that inspired the masterpiece. From Detective Comics 500 by Len Wein & Walt Simonson

I just watched this clip of Michael B. Jordan explaining My Hero Academia to Paul Mescal and Austin Butler and it is genuinely incredible www.youtube.com/watch?v=5By1...

The Witch Hat Atelier anime's teaser reveals lead voices Rena Motomura and Natsuki Hanae, more staff members, and its premiere next April!

Thought I’d share one of the coolest things to happen to me on the old site: I made a throwaway joke, then an artist (@haptronym) decided to make it into a comic, and a whole bunch of people laughed. Sometimes I re-read the comments for a boost.

Found out that the classic Doctor Who season sets have started using janky AI “restoration” and I’m so heartbroken.

I feel bad for Azuki's name change to Omoi. The founder worked HARD to build up that brand and establish a positive relationship with the manga community. Then the NFT Azuki comes in, pays X amount of money to be at the front page and visible, confusing people, and ruining the pub's rep #manga

Digital manga publisher Azuki states no changes in its service's catalog, payment model, and price as it becomes Omoi

Not an enterprising person, but as a follow up designing my custom shelves, I spent some time trying to conceive of a modular system 16in shelving boxes of 8in, 9in, and 12in heights, allowing people to build and add on to their shelves in a way that perfectly accommodates their collection.

Doesn’t look like much to the naked eye, but getting some in-camera aurora.

Anyone else think about how Doctor Who used "unalive" to mean "dead" in 1987?

A lot if things are bad, but the judiciary in Utah taking a firm stance against gerrymandering in the face of huge political pressure to do otherwise is a beautiful thing.

Documenting my manga collection now that I have 501 English manga volumes (533 manga volumes including other languages, 571 total volumes including all light novels, art books, data books, catalogs, magazines, etc)

It’s already Christmas in this mountain neighborhood.

i simply do not purchase anything that says it used AI in its creative process and will forever be suspicious of companies that use it. breaks consumer trust immediately!

My dad learned Japanese in the 70s and he would sometimes repeat this idea when he was annoyed by swears in subtitles. He understands more now about why that isn’t true, but it’s fascinating how persistent this claim is.

Though one fantasy ends, another begins.

No MHA in the last repost, but I remember when Viz announced 1 mil copies at the release of volume 17 in 2019. There has been a pandemic sales boom and more than double the volumes released since then, so I’m super curious what the current number is.

Viz Media added a bunch of sales figures for various Titles in the US on Edelweiss so here’s what Myself, @wintervenom91.bsky.social , & @deere839.bsky.social were able to find in this thread • Goodnight Punpun 499,000+ units sold • Nana 630,000+ units sold • Neighbor Story 25,000+ units sold

My Hero Academia gets an extra team up mission on December 4!

Good Morning

MHA volume 36 colorization released! Just 6 more volumes to go.

Reorganizing books and thought I’d share this artifact from when I was buying stuff from eBay while figuring out how to be an animanga fan. Lotsa words about Fullmetal Alchemist I can’t read very well.

I’ve had a few groups come calling, and there’s been surprising interest in the walnuts!

I have a big bowl and not much candy, but a share of my walnut hoard seems to provide decent filler.

Kodansha, Kadokawa, Square Enix, Shogakukan, Akita Shoten, The Association of Japanese Animations and thirteen other co-signers released a joint statement denouncing Open AI’s Sora 2 for infringing on their copyright without permission/proper compensation

Who remembers Samurai 8? I'm cleaning up some old videos and smiled when I found this old spoof I made when a lore drop sounded very Star Wars.

Logging in to YoTube to change my settings so one (1) video from 19 years ago with no hits doesn’t get automatically upscaled

The new edition of Mushishi is using CC Ask for Mercy for dialogue! Bless the letterer and editor on this project for choosing that. It's such a huge improvement over the prior edition.

I’m kinda surprised it took this long, but I gave someone an answer at work and they said “nu-uh” and pasted a copilot response that contradicts me.

The plan is to reread the complete story from the beginning. If I share thoughts, it’ll be under #SandraMHA. I feel like I’ve got a few.

The Day Is Here! My Hero Academia is complete! It’s the longest completed series in my collection by far. MHA surpassed One Piece long ago as the most impactful manga in my life. It seems to have completely satisfied whatever I was looking for in Battle Shonen stories.

Found out that a certain popular internet scholar was taking Greek classes at the same school for two of the same years that I was. Wracking my brain to try and remember him, but he was a semester or two ahead of me so we probably just missed each other.

Everyone’s a 10 to me cause I have that disease where you can’t discern tone over text. So really when you think about it I’m the bravest man in the country in many ways.

For my part, I’ve been getting by just fine without my Viz/Jump subscriptions since I cancelled in protest. It would be nice to have access to those libraries, but I’m reading more novels & non-fiction that I’ve neglected a long time.

On this note, I can't help but feel bad for anyone employed at Viz anytime one of their bosses at Shueisha rambles on in interviews about how absolutely certain they are that in 5 or 6 years, machine translation will be good enough to take over the entire localization process

I’m too much of a lightweight to enjoy full on horror movies, but I tend to watch things that have darker or more horrifying aspects during October to acknowledge Halloween. Got done with From the New World and Made in Abyss rewatches, now it’s on to Mob Psycho for something lighter. 🍿

Took inspiration from a cat pic for my pumpkin this year. Not sure it really worked, but I was in a hurry and it was fun to try.

Doing a Lord of the Rings rewrite but instead of the Hobbits being analogues for British people they’re all New Yorkers.

“Who robbed the Louvre” “Who’s solving the Louvre robbery” The only correct answer to both.

Yes

Is it too soon for an MHA Artbook announcement?

Viz Media Summer 2026 License Announcement Event is now live #Manga #MangaNews

Still bummed that Viz has apparently abandoned their BlueSky account for announcements.

Posting Columbo today seems fun.

MHA has this analogy of the kids starting as eggs that hatch into chicks as they gain heroic experience. So it’s pretty neat that All Might ends up with a literal shell that breaks away as he experiences his own heroic rebirth.

The cat picked an unusual spot for a nap.
