Best New Manga 2

I received my copy of Best New Manga 2 yesterday morning. It both looks and feels well produced. There’s quite a lot of great pieces in this one too. I rather enjoyed reading ‘Another Summer Day’ by Nana Li and ‘Strum’ by Ben Ang, not to mention the silent comic piece ‘Sojourn’ by Paul Duffield.

There are certainly quite a few gems in this volume. And of course, let’s not forget that there’s a piece by Shari and me in there too!

The book is not yet available for order online, but check here at the end of the month when it’s officially released. There’ll be copies floating around at London Expo for those who can’t wait. I’ll be selling limited stock of the book behind the Sweatdrop table and I’m sure this book will sell fast, so come by early!

    Indeedy, and the content, in my opinion, is too.

    So “in your opinion” San Sabian is better than Jinn? i remember you saying on a podcast (it was your podcast i think) that you kind of had to rush jinn, and re write the ending or something along those lines.. so do you feel you two did better this time by working on it early?

    Just got back from first day of Expo, been up since 5:30am @_@ I don’t think I can compare the two stories and say one is better than the other to be honest. They’re both quite different in style and story. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses ^^

    Heya! It was great to get to talk to you at the expo! ^^
    I still haven’t read my copy yet. My contributor’s copy arrived last night, the same time I brought my leftover ones from the expo back home. This week I need to catch up on uni work but I’m planning to gradually read my way through it.
    I’m really glad you liked my story. Honestly I was quite unhappy with it when I had just finished but others have told me they liked it. ^^
    I have read cookie2 though and I loved it even more than the first one! That dark comedy is so cool and funny! Well done you and Shari!
