Okay, short update. For the past few weeks I’ve been having some issues with WordPress. First it wouldn’t let me login on the website, though I could post my posts remotely as usual. Finally got that fixed but found it hadn’t been sending me mail to say comments were being held for moderation.

As a result when I was finally able to login yesterday I had over 100 comments to sort through. So if you’ve commented any time soon and it didn’t show straight away, apologies. No idea why it was doing this, and frankly I’ve gotten no help from their support so no idea when it’ll be fixed.

I’ve also noticed that a lot of posts have up and disappeared. All the images for them are still on the server, but the posts themselves are gone. Thankfully since I use Live Writer I do have a copy saved on my comp, so re-upping them isn’t going to be a big issue. However finding all the posts will be time consuming given, if you find any dead link please drop me a line giving the link and what post you were looking for.

Not really a lot of information on Fukaki Shoko. Her only other work seems to be a title called Guardian Dog, no other info available.

About the Manga

I’m in two minds on this series. I like the cover, but I have to admit that while reading it I wasn’t overly impressed but something about it does intrigue me.

Over the past year I’ve been growing more and more discontent with the only British anime magazine, NEO MAG. I initially picked them up when I grew disinterested in the american versions for various reasons, mainly though because I didn’t feel they were worth the insane cost of them these days.
