Happy New Year: 2012!


Hi gang,

Nice to see a few of you still stop-in.

Yep, still alive and well, just been busy and not too much news to report from the Japanese manga world. This latest manga, the one I got a few extra copies of, is an ongoing series from a weekly magazine http://comic-earthstar.jp/author/detail04.php

I have a subscription to the mag (while this story plays out) so as to get the color pages that the published version will lose. As to the "TV" version of this story I've seen bantered about ... not so sure. There IS a group of female wrestlers that the mag references that are seen Japanese TV ... the basis of the manga, maybe? Not sure if an anime series is really in the works or not ...

In the meantime, this IS happening, for all the gaming crowd:


Same format as the Wrestle Angels games, it looks like, but adding in some new wrestlers.

Best to all!
