Two Articles on Manga Worth Noting

Among the article touting the fate of one or another company's proposed lines or even the fate of single books are two pieces that take a wider view on where the manga market is right now and where it will be in the near future.

* The comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com sees a potential glut of titles this Fall as more and more people hit the market. Although comics people with long memories might feel muscles in their face voluntarily start to twitch on the mention of a glut, it's worth noting that the manga market overall is far better suited to handle such a swell in product, and if it doesn't work the damage will be felt in the publishing companies, not isolated in their sales partners.

* David Welsh suggests that the bookstore power enjoyed by manga aimed at guys may be kind of limited.
