Elements of Manga Style Book Review
September 28th, 2012 AstroNerdBoy Elements of Manga Style Book Review Sometime back, Brazilian author João Henrique Lopes contacted me about his book on manga art, so I told him I’d take a gander and review. If brevity is the soul of wit, then Mr. Lopes (or prehaps more properly stated as Senhor Lopes) has mastered this. His book, which

September 21st, 2012 AstroNerdBoy Hey y’all! I’m always amazed by the awesome, and sometimes not so awesome, items that the Japanese people can get from their Western fast food joints.

Finishing "A Certain Magical Index II"
August 20th, 2012 AstroNerdBoy Hey gang. I’d gotten about half-way through A Certain Magical Index II and then got distracted.

So, as I’m wont to do, I bring you some other image I discovered on my Internet travels, this time via Facebook (which I shared earlier on Twitter).
