Oyashiro-sama wishes you a happy halloween!

In honor of halloween, I’ve updated the Higurashi When They Cry page. Of the current Yen Plus alumni, Higurashi is the one I’ve been following the closest. Its psychologically spooky tales of gristly murder and demonic abductions make it a natural candidate for some spooky fun on halloween - be sure to read it with the lights off.

Well, I guess that wouldn’t work very well, but you get what I’m trying to say…

Yen Plus’s subscription distributor continues to have some problems with punctuality. I hope Yen Press is of mind to switch to another company once the current contract is up (if that’s how these things work).

UPDATE: Oops, almost forgot to tell you all to check out this interview with Yen Press’s Kurt Hassler. Not too many surprises, but there’s some discussion on the current trend of digital manga on cell phones and portable video game systems and such. I don’t know about you, but I think I’ll stick with the dead tree variety for at least a little while longer - as great as the iPhone may be, the thought of squinting at its screen to read comics and streaking one’s finger across it to “turn pages” doesn’t appeal to me.
