"The official website of Kodansha's Kiss magazine has announced on Monday that the next issue will not have its scheduled installment of the Nodame Cantabile manga because the manga's creator, Tomoko Ninomiya, had to be rushed to a hospital. Ninomiya suffered from abdominal pain and high fever while working towards her next deadline, and has been diagnosed with acute appendicitis. She will be unable to work on her manga while she receives treatment.

The magazine's next issue, which will be this year's 13th issue, will ship in Japan on June 25. The Nodame Cantabile manga's return date has not yet been decided, but Tomomiya's future plans will be announced in Kiss magazine and its official website."

We will run on Saturday November 14th 2009 at the Slug & Lettuce American Square at Tower Gateway, London. With a capacity of 400 people, we are more a mini-con than a club, and run from 11am to midnight. We have dealers, video gaming, anime screening, an Artist Alley, DDRing, roleplaying, card-gaming, along with many events such as a masquerade, pub-quiz, parties, special guests (Roppongi Street are announced with more to come!) and much more! We will be running three to four times a year!
IMPORTANT

- If you want a member badge and don't want to queue on the day then you MUST register and pay beforehand! It only costs £5 for the entire day. Go to http://www.animeleague.com/london/registration.php to register!
- It is not mandatory to register, but priority entrance will be given to those who do (ie: unless you're really lazy, it's a very good idea to register and pay the fiver beforehand).

We need as MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE to help advertise this and get as many people as possible attending ALCL! So, if you want to help out, simply email us on info@animeleague.com and we'll see what you can do! We'll be shortly getting 10,000 ALCL flyers printed, so if you want to help there, that'd be fantastic. Asides from that, simple word of mouth and facebook works wonders! We NEED to ensure that London has a really successful anime club, so the more people we can have helping with this project, the more chance it'll have of being a massive success!"]]> http://forums.animeuknews.net/viewtopic.php?t=10937 http://forums.animeuknews.net/viewtopic.php?t=10937 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 00:36 GMT New Anime Releases 15/06/09 http://forums.animeuknews.net/viewtopic.php?t=10921
