Did I ever tell you the story of an ill-fated trade paperback titled “Four Shōjo Stories”? Published in 1996, it contained the first #shōjo #manga stories I translated for #Viz Comics (now Viz Media, LLC). In late 1995, Viz’s Editor in Chief, the late FUJII Satoru, called me and asked if I would write an introduction for a trade paperback collecting #HAGIO Moto’s “They Were Eleven!,” NISHI Keiko’s “Promise” and “Since You’ve Been Gone,” and SATOH Shio’s “Changeling.” I immediately said, “Wait, you mean #Shogakukan green-lighted an anthology like this?” Anthologies mixing works by different manga artists is all but unheard of in Japan, partly because of egos, partly because royalties become very complicated.

This can be artists, musicians, athletes, broadcasters, etc or even politicians, companies or countries I suppose if you want to really get global, but try not to make it too abstract or too much of a reach.

An example for instance is Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels who had their best matches with each other but also hated each other and those differences eventually (partially) led to the Montreal Screwjob.

Aujourd'hui j'ai re-regardé Nausicaa de la vallée du vent, et j'ai un peu chiallé.

Mais du coup, j'ai vraiment envie d'aller voir plus loin, le manga original.

Question : Ne lisant pas le Japonais, mais lisant aussi bien le 🇫🇷 que l'🇬🇧 quelle traduction est la meilleure à lire ?

Le repouet vous protège des spores et de la pollution.

(Pas techniquement un #ghibli #manga #miyazaki#HayaoMiyzakai )

Quoi de mieux qu'un #VendrediLecture dans le train direction le Vercors, avec un #manga qui montre des femmes badass à #vélo ?

Majo no Michi, par Tony Concrete, parle de sorcières contemporaines qui n'enfourchent pas des balais mais des vélos, de jeux vidéos et de soirées, de précarité et de petits boulots, de protection des territoires... et se passe en Alsace !

L'illustrateur propose même sur son site des itinéraires simples à vélo au départ de #Strasbourg et quelques conseils pour debuter.

Autant vous dire que je recommande mille fois et j'ai hâte de lire le 2e et dernier volume 😁
