If you’re interested in viewing some “home-made” manga, the British Art Museum (Museum of East Asian Art, Bath) is currently exhibiting entries submitted for this years “Rising Stars of Manga” competition.
And speaking of UK manga, Sonia Leong’s Romeo & Juliet graphic novel (released in the UK earlier this year) was nominated for the “Great Graphic Novels for Teens” award by the US’s “Young Adult Library Services Association”. Although “Romeo & Juliet” didn’t make the final list of 67 nominations, it was up against the likes of Death Note, which in itself represents a great achievement.
