Manga news

Wired magazine is currently featuring an article called "How Manga Conquered the U.S.—A Graphic Guide to Japan's Coolest Export". The article, which is told through manga-style text and artwork, narrated by a sailor-suited Japanese schoolgirl, and meant to be read right-to-left, is downloadable as a pdf.

Note: There's an accompanying article entitled "Japan, Ink: Inside the Manga Industrial Complex". It's written in (sigh) plain old text, but it's excellent.
