Missed It: NYT On Cell Phone Manga

I think this is one of those articles where the meat is in the actual news rather than whatever portentous meaning applied to it: sales of manga to be read on cell phones surged in 2008 to nearly $350 million and includes a significant female readership. I'm a backer of all comics platforms, so this seems to me interesting news, and I think most comics publishers here are pursuing digital initiatives to the extent that if this is a long-term market they should be able to serve it.
