Don't worry about it Mushashi.


How Otaku are you? This quiz only has 6 grueling multiple choice questions. You have to sign up (free) or sign in with AOL/AIM username.

Here are my results, You wouldn't expect anything less for your moderator.

Spoiler: Results

super ultra otaku

you love manga and anime so much that its turned into an obsession. if theres a convention on your there and your even cosplaying to show how much you love it!!! you not only have the anime of a series but if its avalible in manga theres no doubt you own them both.

I have no idea what the range of grades are so everyone should take the quiz and post the results and feed back.

 

[shaheer]

Akiyama san do you even care for these grades???

The Otaku Encyclopedia
Author: Patrick W. Galbraith
Publisher: Kodansha International
Sharpen your otaku I.Q. with this fun, savvy and fascinating guide to Japanese pop culture. Learn the origins and meanings of terms like moe, tsundere and NEET, visit otaku hotspots and events like Akihabara and Comiket and meet some of the idols, animators and creators who make the anime, manga, toys and music you love to love.

Sure you could find all this out on the web but I just wanted to let everyone know someone made a book on this.

I finally found out what "moe" means.

Where can i buy mangas No Bra in particular

I look al over the we, maybe im not looking at the right places. but i been trying to find No Bra i can not find it anywhere. help plz

Re: Where can i buy mangas No Bra in particular

Its not licensed in English so you could probably find it at a Japanese site that sells graphic novels. But this really isn't the right place for this. No Bra is Shonen not Shojo. A mod will probably move this.

There have been some changes to the Otaku Cafe!

The Fujoshi Cafe moved from the shojo/josei section earlier today. Like the other cafe boards, it is a board for general manga discussion, the type of discussion that are to broad for single series boards. But the fujoshi cafe is exclusively to discuss general shojo and josei topics. Discussion of single series can be found at the Shojo/Josei Forum. I hope everyone enjoys the changes and takes the opportunity to explore and learn about a lot of great manga!

It's a list of mangakas who have twitter accounts! (All in Japanese)

There's not that much, but a lot of the CLAMP ones are there, Usata (Pyuu to Fuku), Murata (Eyeshield 21) and others I'm too lazy to identify atm.

You can download manga raws here. For all things recent, if you mean magazine raws, it's either raw paradise or here. There are volume raws here too.

 

[Kaiten]

Raw Manga Forum is a good place for tankobon raws. JCafe is good too. Check here first though

I have a little problem or rather a little question.

I need to find an artist who makes manga paintings or drawings,but not for a manga.
Just like an artist who makes oil paintings,only that the person i'm looking for has to do it in a manga style,if you know what i mean.

So actually a manga artist,who is not running a manga,but publishing drawings/paintings/whatever in manga style.

I don't even know if artists like this exist,so i thought this would be the best place to ask.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Kaiten]

Takashi Murakami originated Superflat, a style of art heavily influenced by manga/anime. He might be most famous for doing the cover of Graduation.

Googz, I'm not too sure whether this will help but I have a feeling it will....maybe inspire you?

You'll probably find a lot more of Suzuki's work, portfolio and info from art books compared to the net imho.

Shinichi Maruyama - this guy is simply amazing. I was introduced to his work last semester and I ended up writing an essay about his work too. I know it's not exactly what you needed or required but he reminds me of Kubo's artistic precision (techniques, creativity, abilities, etc)
