Look out for a link on the "Quest" page of our site in the next few days. If you're around NYCC come and visit on booth 2347 - everyone welcome - where I'll have previews of our full 2009 program. Otherwise drop me an email through the site and I'll add you to our mailing list. I see the availability issue came up again. I am pleased to say we now have a distributor who knows what they're doing and you should see all our titles made generally available over the coming months. Now I have an early morning plane to catch at the other end of an English snow storm, so I trust you'll excuse me... Michelle, welcome and thanks for the lovely review.

This is by far your strongest review to date. I confess that I enjoyed your review of "Quest for the Missing Girl" a lot more than the actual book, which I found to be a big snooze. Kate Michelle:

Are you "jun"? This sounds like a neat book. A problem with convincingly portraying emotion is a tough thing to encounter as a reader. The focus on setting might make it easier to get past, though. I'll keep an eye out for it. There's a bunch of content over at Michelle's blog--it's worth checking out! Welcome, Michelle! Are you “jun”?

I have <i>Town of Evening Calm</i>, but haven't read it yet. It and <i>The Quest for the Missing Girl</i> are aimed at the same demographic—called "seinen"—so you might end up liking other things in that category. Thanks, Mer!

I've only dipped my toes into the world of manga - my first and only manga was TOWN OF EVENING CALM, COUNTRY OF CHERRY BLOSSOMS after Danielle recommended it in one of her first reviews here (loved it) - but I love reading these reviews for additions to my future reading list.

You know what I love about this site? People comment! Comments rock! :) The only other Taniguchi I've read is <i>The Walking Man</i>, which seems to go in and out of stock on Amazon. When I first looked it was out, so I tried some other merchant who flaked on it, and then poof, Amazon had it again and at the lowest price around. For this one, I got it through my local comics shop, as I will probably do for Fanfare's next Taniguchi offering, <i>A Distant Neighborhood</i>. Thanks! You know what I love about this site?

Although Fanfare's works aren't always easy to find -- Diamond now seems to be the best bet to get new works they've released.) Welcome, Welcome, Welcome! :-)
