@RadFemHedonist : I'm so glad your copy arrived safely and that you love the book; it's long been a favourite in our family and it seems a perfect marriage of author and illustrator! 😌 (And good, I think, to have discovered a 1971 edition - I think my sister must have ours as I can only find the...
Akira Toriyama's amazing body of work has influenced and entertained so many people around the world. The writers at Anime UK News look back at their memories of their first encounters with the world of Dragon Ball!

'Is our eldest son Hiroki gay?' Tomoko has been wondering this for some time even though the exuberant high-schooler has never come out. As her husband Akiyoshi returns home after working abroad, can she persuade him to change his rigid attitudes without upsetting the harmony within the family...
Japan’s heartfelt and action-packed #1 box office sensation opens wide across the UK & IRE from Friday 26th April! London, UK, 8th March 2024 - Organising a family holiday can often feel like the world is at stake, but it really is for the most beloved family in anime, who are about to make...
I'm so very sad to see this as, echoing @Cold Cobra, @Lucky_Deity and @BrokenPhoenix, I'd hoped Akira Toriyama would be around for a while to come. Dragon Ball was my first wholly Japanese anime series (in France) in the last century and I diligently collected the French manga editions (it was a...
I've taken down one of the duplications (mine) but just to say about At 25.00 at Akasaka that it's been available on futekiya for a while but it'll be good to be able to get physical copies in English and probably a new translation. This series has been amazingly popular in Japan where it's had...

That's good book- tracking skills; respect! :) I'm sure you won't regret this purchase. It would be really good, though, if the publishers could do a reprint or a new edition, especially as it's not that long since his death (2022).
Love Jan Pienkowski's illustrations (we have this and other lovely collections). Do you know his illustrations for the Joan Aiken stories: The Kingdom Under the Sea and A Necklace of Raindrops? A truly magical collaboration.
What does an evil alien general do on his day off from campaigning to take over the Earth? He goes to the zoo incognito to watch the pandas. But the Rangers who defend Earth have become aware that there’s an alien enemy around…

Gorou Kanbe's art/character designs are not, I guess, 'beautiful' by current BL manga standards but they're very expressive and I think she deserves more attention. I was so glad that Tokyopop 'discovered' her as I think I wouldn't have found her otherwise. I hope you'll like what she does too...
I hope you'll like that title; there's a related title by Gorou Kanbe, also published by Tokyopop, which I also really like: Don't Call Me Daddy - although it works best to read Don't Call me Daddy first. Do let me know what you think. :)
Students Pharm and Dean felt inexplicably drawn to each other from the day they first met on campus. But both have been experiencing disturbing dreams. Is it possible that the dreams are memories – of their previous lives?
