Could a Manga Museum become reality? Yes, if the Japanese have any say about it. Japanese lawmakers have formed a caucus to plan a Manga National Center ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The yet unnamed center will focus not only on Manga but it will also showcase Anime and Video Games as part of its exhibits.
In other news, Drifters, an up and coming Anime based on Kouta Hirano's manga of the same name has recently cast Junko Minagawa (Jeanne d'Arc),Kenji Nomura (Gilles de Rais), Junko Kitanishi (Anastasia), and Masahiko Tanaka (Rasputin). The Anime which centers on the real life Samurai Shimazu Toyohisa is due to release soon but has no set date as of yet. Until that time you can check out the trailer below.
Media distribution service Crunchyroll recently announced that it will stream Anne-Happy, the television anime adaptation of Cotoji's Unhappy Go Lucky! comedy manga. The series will premier on April 7th and will stream exactly as it is seen by viewers in Japan. If you've never read the Manga, the series is about a group of girls who have been plagued with misfortune. In fact, they even attend a High School for the unlucky. Despite all this the girls try and make the best of their lot in life and work together to turn their luck around. It's a sweet story and one that I hope the anime developers do justice too.

Welcome to my stop on the Books To Movies Giveaway Hop hosted by Mary from Bookhounds & I Am A Reader, Not A Writer If you didn't know by now I'm a huge fan of Books turned movies. I read as if I'm watching a movie as it is and so whenever I see a book turned into a film I get super excited. While I have many favorites I've decided to limit my choices to my Top 5. Trust me I can talk about Book to Movie adaptations all day if you'll let me :) From this list you can choose either the book or film as your prize! In no particular order here are my favorite books turned into films! .The Lord Of The Rings is a series that can only be described as epic. I love the books and suggest everyone read the series at least once. When Peter Jackson turned the trilogy into a film and I heard of some of the changes I was skeptical. Fortunately as soon as I saw the first film all doubts were erased from my mind. I just can't get enough and have rewatched t
Author: Sarah Beth Durst Genre: Thriller, Mystery, Adult Publisher: Harlequin/Mira Expected Publication: May 20, 2014 ADD TO GOODREADS Lost your way? Your dreams? Yourself? Welcome to Lost. It was supposed to be a small escape. A few hours driving before turning around and heading home. But once you arrive in Lost...well, it's a place you really can't leave. Not until you're Found. Only the Missing Man can send you home. And he took one look at Lauren Chase and disappeared. So Lauren is now trapped in the town where all lost things go-luggage, keys, dreams, lives-where nothing is permanent, where the locals go feral and where the only people who don't want to kill her are a handsome wild man called the Finder and a knife-wielding six-year-old girl. The only road out of town is engulfed by an impassable dust storm, and escape is impossible.... Until Lauren decides nothing-and no one-is going to keep her here anymore. Review The Lost by Sarah Be
