Le Ballet des Cœurs - Musashino Rondo #1 de Haruka Kawachi

Paru chez @naban-editions.com

I will say that the consumer & publisher demand / market and distribution for indie comics originally published in english / french in japan is very limited / niche at this point.

Not for lack of trying. But it’s a steep slope to climb

I went for a specific purpose (J->E manga publishing), but Tokyo Rights Meeting also included exhibitors from China and Europe hoping to meet Japanese publishers to get their titles in Japanese.

There should still be copies at Kinokuniya and at the DeYoung Museum

Chicken butts are Japan’s way of saying “grill it, put tare (teriyaki sauce) on it, and almost anything is edible”

Also wasabi on a grilled chicken skewer shooting up from your mouth straight up your nasal passages is a cheap thrill
