Gentlemen’s Agreement Between a Rabbit and a Wolf by Shinano Oumi is available now, exclusively at Akadot and Yaoi Club!

Our friends at MangaNEXT have announced two new guests of honor - Makoto Tateno, the prolific author of manga like Yellow and Steal Moon, and Tomo Maeda the author of Beyond My Touch. If you’re in New Jersey between February 24th and 26th, stop by for a chance to meet with these amazing artists!
We’re on a roll this week! A BIG thank you to all of our DMG Localizers who made many of these releases possible! Give them your support and pick up a DMG book today! <3
Materials to prepare:
※ Color Pens (preferably 2 colors or more)
Steps:
※Draw lines, onto the traced illustration (clean copy), which will specify shadows and act as borders for separating areas of different tones/colors. Lines in cluttered areas can be identified with much more ease by utilizing multiple pens with varying colors.

Happy Friday, everyone! If you’re looking for some weekend reading and want a reason to pick up Vampire Hunter D Vol. 6 (or the rest of the VHD series..! (ノ*゚ー゚)ノ ) , Euri from Beyond Eternal has a review of VHD6 here for your reading pleasure!
In other news, DMP is excited to be collaborating with MangaNext, a unique New Jersey convention “tailored toward amateur artists and writers developing their crafts” and their fellow manga fans. If you’re in the area February 24-6th, swing by for a great time getting down and geeky with other manga fans, and say hi to our friends at MangaNext. We’ll be there with you in spirit!
Can you guys believe this?! In less than a week, manga fans everywhere pitched in over $10,000 dollars to our Kickstarter Campaign to translate Osamu Tezuka’s Barbara into English! All of us here at Digital Manga would like to extend our sincerest thanks to twitter users @TezukainEnglish @tweetheart4711 @fschodt @edsizemore @debaoki @Kurisosity @johannadc @mangawidget, and all the bloggers and backers who helped support this project!
If you’re excited about Tezuka and want to hear more, check out DMP’s very own Ben Applegate on the Manga Out Loud podcast as he fields questions and concerns about Barbara and the Kickstarter Project.
One final thanks to everyone - we couldn’t have done it without you! (Really! I don’t have $10,000 to spare!)
