GraphicNovelReview.com is back
by Joey Manley
… but different. Now it’s a solo effort. I’ll try to review one printed graphic novel per week. But I may not. It’s the kind of thing that I enjoy doing (and, busy as I am, sliding things into the workflow that I enjoy doing is a necessity, for my own satisfaction and peace of mind), but I can’t prioritize it over my other tasks.
This first week, I take a baffled look at a “literary” manga: The Times of Botchan, Volume One by Jiro Taniguchi and Natsuo Sekikawa.
The business model is pretty minimal: WCN ads at the top (to help meet my committment to grow the audience for WCN cartoonists), and, yes, evil Amazon Affiliate links scattered throughout the post. I know I said a long time ago that GNR wouldn’t do that. But I changed my mind.
So, yeah.
