The most amazing manga of 2013 – according to the collected opinions of the top mangaka, editors, industry figures and random celebrities surveyed for Kono Manga ga Sugoi!’s 2013 edition at least – have been unveiled, and the results are sure to be some help to manga lovers struggling to find out what they should be reading and what they might be missing out on…
The Japanese edition of Playboy has been attracting much derision and not a small amount of revulsion for the creepy otaku content carried in its latest edition, featuring a full spread of the most onanistically deviant antics ever concocted by the otaku mind.
The unexpected conjunction of moe bishoujo and genuine fashion (as opposed to the fantasy sort involving cat ears and maid outfits) has resulted in “Moeurs” – a fashion mook eschewing bony 3D models in favour of svelte 2D girls by top artists.
A ranking of their top manga characters conducted by anime rag Dragon Age finds itself dominated by Highschool of the Dead, which claims no less than 4 spots in the top 10.
After close observation on your whining, I realized something spectacular. THERE IS NO DISEMBODIED HAND. Oh, I'm sorry, did that crush something? Stop being such a whiny angsty teenager who thinks people looking at this... More

Popular idol and occasional seiyuu Aya Hirano was recently featured in popular Japanese PC rag Weekly ASCII, looking rather worse for wear, and apparently having decided to model the styles of yesteryear.
She is indeed rocking that bubble era look. Very classy Aya or someone who picked her look for the magazine. She needs to be more pictures of her in that vintage style.... More
Well if you put it that way then yes she's a lot better looking than them.... More
Luffy for some inexplicable reason graces the cover of Japanese men’s fashion rag Men’s Non-No, presumably not on the grounds of his outfit.
A ranking of anime by their level of magazine exposure for the month of October yields some interesting, if at times puzzling, results…
A Chinese gaming rag, 掌机迷, one bearing a striking resemblance to Famitsu, has taken a distinctly Chinese approach to respecting copyright, by helpfully including the full ISO and similar data on its cover disc for the games it is reviewing.
Thai also does this. I remember buying a ROMs and Emulator magazine that has Visual Boy Advanced and tons of roms in it for about a dollar (30 Thai Baht).... More

All the latest anime magazine editions are giving centre stage to the presumed grand finale to Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2, with Lelouch’s imperial reign in no doubt. What’s more, the enticing poster above (full size version here), featuring an unclothed C.C. baring all, was published, exciting fans considerably.
In a development which has turned the heads of many gravure magazine readers, idol and manga magazine ヤングチャンピオン / Young Champion has crossed the unspoken boundary which formerly was the limit these magazines were loathe to cross: the latest issue includes a photo shoot with JAV porn star かすみりさ / Risa Kasumi, not in itself too notable, but we also hear that she modelled in what is technically termed “hair nude”, a term which assuredly does not refer to exposing a fine head of hair.
The editorial staff of adult game magazine PC Angel neo have issued an official statement in response to the call for a ban on adult games, and as might be expected they are rather scathing of it, if in a rather polite and restrained way (though any other sort of statement would doubtless be to cast oil onto the flames).
woot! go staff!... More
“Adult game players have their minds destroyed, they lose their very humanity”. With these words, from the recent petition to ban eroge, and their other initiatives, the Democrats seem to have provoked a storm of protest.
A mountain of such responses as “So shouldn’t AV also be banned?”, “Is there any scientific basis for this?”, “I’m a married woman with children who plays these games” are evident; I’m sure you get the picture, many are very annoyed, and seem more vocal than those advocating the ban (who seem to be limited to DPJ party hacks, strangely enough).
It remains to be seen whether this will truly backfire for the Democrats, although that does seem increasingly possible (not that there was any real chance of success in the first place).
