Discussion, Resources, Roundtables, & Reviews

Welcome, Cathy!

Not long ago, we asked readers what they’d like to see from the new, multi-site Manga Bookshelf. One of the requests made of us at the time was for some kind of “anime vs. manga” feature, in which anime adaptations would be compared against their manga source material. We all thought it was a great idea! Trouble is… none of us watch much anime.

Today, please welcome Cathy Yan, the newest contributor to Manga Bookshelf, who will be sharing her thoughts on anime with us monthly via her new column, “Don’t Fear the Adaptation.” The first of Cathy’s articles has been posted this morning, featuring Rumiko Takahashi’s classic seinen romantic comedy, Maison Ikkoku.

So check out Cathy’s post, and let her know what you think! Then don’t forget to add her on Twitter!

      Do you know, I have never paid attention to your avatar until now. Is that a tiny man with an enormous mustache?
