Our Mind Over Manga Tour this August will meet with the Urawa Gakuin Manga Club. Urawa is an elite high school in Tokyo known for its baseball, but its manga club is also second in Japan in national art competition. We're really aiming to tie American manga artists to every level of the Japanese manga scene, from up-and-coming young people to long-established legends, so more announcements are coming! (Sign up by Monday for $100 off!)

We've also updated our Testimonies page with kind comments from recent customers... check it out!

Mind Over Manga's Going to See Ponyo!

Our Mind Over Manga tour just gets better and better -- we've just added a trip to go see Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (Gake no ue no Ponyo), the new film by Hayao Miyazaki ("Princess Mononoke," "Spirited Away"), in Japanese theaters! Years ago I saw Spirited Away in theaters on an exchange program and it was an incredible experience, even though I couldn't understand a word of it. The best part -- we'll be able to talk to one of Miyazaki's most beloved collaborators the same week, and of course visit the Ghibli Museum (below).
