Ahhh I wish this was in the UK! We need a mangaka magazine… I may need to import this and brush-up on my Italian…

Ha ha! You’re right, Knight, now if only I could speak a foreign language… Oh, wait, I do. I AM foreign! O.o; Keep forgetting that…

Although interestingly, I’m currently working with a guy in France and one in Spain on comics they may want to publish through ITCH in the UK. They both also have local publishers though.

I just came by Donna’s art topic by chance, and must say you have done a wonderful job promoting her, as her name had stuck in my mind as an artist of particular interest (the previews and announcements of Leek ‘n Sushy saw to that). Her work really is no less than professional. Also interesting to hear about other international manga publications, all the way from Italy, no less.

Here’s some more on the magazine, I gather #1 was in published in July, #2 this September, and #3 is coming up. MANGAKA sure beats Manga Pulp in being a full-bred manga magazine, from what I can read.

It’s proving to be quite interesting to hang out with you ;D
