I am lazy and do not feel like writing things up, even though I am super behind on sequential art posts. On the plus side, Bride of the Water God is out to volume 5 here, which really beats waiting another EIGHT MONTHS for Dark Horse to release v. 3 in the US. Also, I have copies of Umino Chica's new manga, Yoshinaga Fumi's new food manga, a Mizushiro Setona series I have never read, and more Nan Kongyuu books! Also also, I have found another manhua I like! This one is called Fried Chicken Princess (Ji Pai Gong Chu) and is all about a girl who starts a club to appreciate fried chicken (the Taiwan kind, like fried chicken steaks, heavily seasoned)! What other unlicensed stuff should I be keeping an eye out for here?

Who is going to Wiscon? Does anyone have panel ideas? I want to suggest another one on shoujo manga but I cannot think of one outside of something like "Shounen Bodies: Women's and girls' bodies in shounen manga" which is clearly not on shoujo. Also, I probably have not read enough shounen to be a good contributor.

Dunkin' Donuts is now in Taiwan, and they are copying Mister Donuts' round mochi-esque donuts! I would be annoyed, except this means I can get my tasty round mochi-esque donuts at more places now.

I cannot find the old place that sold egg cakes, but the new one nearby is just as good. Yay!

1. Thanks for the rec! I'll keep an eye out.

2. Oh huh! I don't think so, although we sort of touched on the prevalence of male characters in shoujo last year. That would still be interesting though.
