Manga has taken the world by storm with Japanese animation gaining more and more followers every day. Most fans are gamers, yet others are actually admirers of the Japanese art. I have even seen books that teach the art of Manga and it has been patronized, not only in their native country, but also internationally.

It is interesting how Manga names denote a certain personality or characteristic that usually refers closely to the person holding the name. If I could choose a Manga name, I want Chie. It means wisdom and blessings. I also wanted something that means beauty or bravery. But it was too common and I wanted to be more than just a pretty face.

For manga fans, another manga movie is scheduled for limited release in the US on June 11th and 12th — Bleach the Movie: Memories of Nobody. It is an animated film adaptation of the anime series Bleach and was originally released in Japan in 2006. It is only a 2-day limited release and you can get your tickets at the theater box office or online at www.fathomevents.com. Just enter your chosen showing date and your zip code for the nearest theater to your location. Seat are also limited, so get your tickets early.
