Here you will find a run down of today's anime and manga news! If anything major happened the anime and manga world today, you'll find it in this post! By the way, I'm saladesu, one of the translator-moderators of MH, and I'll be posting a post like this every day (as much as possible, anyway). Look forward to them ;)




Konomi Takeshi, famed for his manga "Prince of Tennis", as well as other interested parties, will be conducting fund-raising activities in Yodogawa Ward, Osaka City on the 26th of March, in aid of the victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami.

Konomi had been thinking about what he could do for the quake victims, and decided to conduct the fund-raiser. There have been no songs or talk shows planned for the day, and those who come to donate may leave anytime they like. Entrance is open to all. All proceeds will go to the Japanese Red Cross.
