This is the paradox of the Rising Sun: It entertains the world, but only on its own strange, beautiful, and unyielding terms.

The business model is rapid iteration. Magazines like Weekly Shonen Jump are phone-book thick anthologies. Readers vote on their favorite series; the bottom-ranked series are cancelled instantly. This Darwinian pressure creates incredible peaks of creativity but also causes horrific burnout. The average manga artist ( mangaka ) sleeps four hours a night and suffers from a reputation for back injuries and solitude.

I believe that we can afford to give more of these gifts to the world around us because it costs us nothing to be decent and kind and understanding. And, I want you to know that when you land on this site, you are accepted for who you are, no matter how you identify, what truths you live, or whatever kind of goofy shit makes you feel alive! Rock on with your bad self!
