Hi Sandra, I've enjoyed your posts. Everything has been helpful as I try to break into anime/manga, my weak link as an academic. I read today that Drawn and Quarterly is going to release Tatsumi Yoshihiro's "Fallen Words," which I assume is based on his 2009 "Gekiga yose: Shibahama." I'm wondering, have you had a chance to read this yet? I haven't, and am going to check it out in prep for the translation. Being a rakugo specialist, this may be the best "in" for me as I approach anima/manga studies. Cheers, Matt http://www.kamigatarakugo.wordpress.com (http://www.kamigatarakugo.wordpress.com)
