Any regular reader of this blog will know that one of my favorite manga series is Akimi Yoshida's 1980s shojo epic, Banana Fish. I've spent quite a bit of effort attempting to persuade readers to check it out, so just imagine my joy when a few of my favorite manga bloggers agreed to indulge me in an ongoing roundtable discussion of the series! Joining me here are Michelle Smith (Soliloquy in Blue), Khursten Santos (Otaku Champloo), Connie (Slightly Biased Manga), Eva Volin Good Comics For Kids, Robin Brenner No Flying, No Tights), and Katherine Dacey (The Manga Critic). Each of these women writes about manga for multiple blogs and other online publications (despite the fact I've listed only one each here) and their combined knowledge and experience is, frankly, pretty intimidating if you let yourself ponder it for too long.
