Yup, that’s me. A few years back I was quoted in Gita Jackson’s article on Attack on Titan, and apparently the article and my quote in it were plagiarized by a YouTuber. Thanks to hbomberguy for doing all the legwork to figure out what was going on and lay out all the ways creators had their work stolen! If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’ve embedded the video below.

Casa Con 2023!

I do talk about queer topics in manga in my forthcoming book, Manga’s Global Century. In the meantime, I’m appearing at Casa Con 2023 this Friday, December 15! I’ll be speaking at 4pm PST on “Connections Between Japanese Woodblock Prints, Anime, and Manga, and the Stories We Tell About Them.” You can join the con now at the website (it’s free!), and I hope to see you there!
