Manga article

"Away in a manga": Lengthy and by and large well written article by Mangablog writer Brigid Alverson on the genre, covering the basics. I was a little put off by the attitude towards Western super-hero comics. It generalizes on the usual reasons given why women read manga rather than say DC & Marvel. It's very teen oriented with discussions of libraries, so the more controversial aspects of manga are there more as warnings, rather than in depth explanation.
