Well we can at least wipe that fear away. Notch doesn’t make any money off Minecraft anymore. Microsoft entirely owns it, all goes to them. Which probably isn’t much better, but hey.[/u]

Huh, I didn't know someone had licensed a manga version of Night on the Galactic Railroad. I had no idea a manga version had come out in the 2010s, as I only knew about a version from the 80s. Will be buying it as I really enjoyed the movie from the 80s.

In his review of Night on the Galactic Railroad, Kevin Cormack wrote: "I'd really like to read the original one day. Although this is a high-quality adaptation, I suspect this may be a story best consumed more slowly, allowing more time for the tone and surreal imagery to take effect. It reads too quickly as a manga."
Well, the original is very short too. It's a novella only about 70 pages long and it reads very quickly as well. There are several translations available in English and one of the best is "Night on the Galactic Railroad and Other Stories from Ihatov" translated by Julianne Neville (2014) which we've used in college literature classes. It's available on Amazon for about $11.

I've never heard someone say this before but it cracked me up and I'll definitely be using it when referring to future shonen heroes of that ilk.

I really shouldn't be buying any more manga right now (especially since I ordered full runs of Orb, Tomo-chan is a Girl!, and Aria of the Beech Forest recently), but I always look forward to these guides. Hope Dogsred gets covered; the first volume is excellent.
