Links: Princess Knight rides again

August 14, 2011 by Katherine Dacey   1 comments

Over at MTV Geek, Brigid Alverson takes a look at Osamu Tezuka’s Princess Knight. This ground-breaking shojo title, which debuted in 1953, will be coming to American shores for the first time in October 2011. (Kodansha published a bilingual edition in 2000, but that was aimed at Japanese readers who wanted to improve their English language skills, not American manga fans.) Readers curious about the series and its complicated publication history can read more about it here.

Speaking of manga, the internet has been abuzz over the upcoming launch of JManga, a new portal for reading Japanese comics. As Deb Aoki points out, fan expectations for JManga may be unrealistic, especially for readers accustomed to getting their manga through illegal scanlation sites.
