I’m late to posting this, but wanted to make mention of what a fabulous time I had at the Angoulême festival. It was wonderful to connect again with friends in our international comics community (many of whom we hadn’t seen in-person since 2020!). It was especially an honor to join Fusami Ogi and other esteemed lecturers on a panel called Shoujo Manga and Beyond. We each had our own presentation related to shout manga and it was a very broadly ranging discussion, which was fitting since the influence of shoji manga has such a broad and global range. I hope to attend again soon!

Kitty Sweet Tooth Makes a Movie review at Sequential Tart!
Kitty Sweet Tooth Makes a Movie got a great review at Sequential Tart!
“This is a great follow-up book to the first! It builds on both of the main aspects: snacks and films. Having Kitty quest for ingredients and film her adventures in doing so, is such a good idea!…The art is truly magical. There are so many fun details, plus the unique settings and costume changes. The colors just pop, too! “
