TWO MANGA REVIEWS
The French-language comics website du9 has put up an English translation of its review of Shiriagari's Hako-Bune (via Journalista).
Also via Journalista, Bart Beaty's savage and funny review of Shigeru Mizuki's NonNonBa, which won the Best Album prize at this year's Angouleme. Sample quote: "Mizuki's work literally sucked the life right out of me." Beaty has said highly positive things about other manga (the fifth paragraph in "Report #1"), so it's not like he's prejudiced against manga in general. (For what it's worth, what I've seen of NonNonBa's art didn't appeal to me either.)
