Welcome to Manga^3, your one stop for manga news and commentary, for the week of February 11, 2013. This week we start the first of a four episode mini series discussing the four main classifications of manga. Any fan of manga should already know these, but anyone new to manga could use a crash course on what the different types of manga are and what to expect from them. We also talk about one of the newer series in Weekly Shonen Jump that has not yet made it into Weekly Shonen Jump Online yet.

Episode 034 - February 4, 2013 - Overarching Goals and The Legend of Koizumi
Welcome to Manga^3, your one stop for manga news and commentary, for the week of February 4, 2013. This week we talk about overarching goals in manga, and whether having them is a good or bad thing, and which kinds of manga need them more than others. We also discuss a series that will probably never be released in the West, no matter how much mahjong or how many Moon Nazis it throws at our faces.

Episode 033 - January 28, 2013 - What Does Simultaneous Actually Mean and Bood Lad
Welcome to Manga^3, your one stop for manga news and commentary, for the week of January 28, 2013. This week we clear the air about why the latest chapters of Jump series seem to be floating around the internet, and why they are the chapters after what we get in Viz's Weekly Shonen Jump. We also take a break from Fairy Tail and talk about a series that only just came out in the States.

Manga^3 Episode 031 - January 14, 2013 - Don't Be a Jerk Just Enjoy Your Manga and Fairy Tail Vol. 4
Welcome to Manga^3, your one stop for manga news and commentary, for the week of January 14, 2013. This week we take yet another relevant topic and talk about the penchant of manga fandom to split into argumentative factions. Or, people that look for the littlest thing to argue about with other fans. We might also mention shippers in there at one point. We also continue our look at Fairy Tail with volume 4.

Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha Recap April 30 and May 7, 2012
Derek: So, we never did get around to doing last week's commentary, did we?
Monorum: No, we haven't.
Derek: Yeah… wonder why that happened.
Monorum: I have no idea but as that saying goes, "Better late than super late."
Derek: Mh, yeah, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with both of us being horribly lazy slackers, would it?
Monorum: Err, let's cut to the chase. So, how about you summarize what's happened in One Piece?

Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha Recap April 23, 2012
Derek: Hey there folks, in our ongoing effort to provide content for this blog, we're starting a brand new weekly segment, Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha Recap or WSJAR for short. In it we'll summarize the events of the most recent chapters published in WSJA, and provide a little commentary on said chapters. I'm Derek...
Monorum: And I'm Monorum.
Derek: And we're two lazy hacks that need to force ourselves to actually update this website.
Monorum: I'm not a lazy hack, I just have a lot on my plate besides writing itself.
Derek: Sure… So anyway, why don't you tell the good people how this column came to be?
Monorum: Well Derek and I happen to frequent a forum on fanfiction.net. A One Piece forum, mind you. Ever since I bought my subscription for Weekly Shounen Jump Alpha to show my support for making digital manga more fruitful, I had to cut down on reading manga online. Which also meant that I had to avoid any spoiler threads on forums. At first I was reluctant to stop, but I wanted to provide my input on the recent chapters of series I enjoy reading so as to enjoy them more, even if I am just expressing my own heartfelt opinions on them. Derek here, happened to catch on to that and decided that since we both are subscribed to WSJA, why not do the WSJAR together and that is why this article is here.
Derek: Mostly I figured that if he was going to be sharing his opinion on the chapters, he might as well do it on the site. And since I wanted to do the same, I decided that we could try out a conversation kind of piece. Now, here's how it's going to work, one of us will summarize what happens in the chapter, and then we'll both give our opinions. Starting, this week, with Bleach.

Magazine Reviews: Shonen Jump October/November 2011 - Issue 9
Introduction
I'm always on the lookout for new things to review, new blog posts to write. I'd been toying with the idea of reviewing the American Shonen Jump every month, but hadn't ever gotten around to it. But since this issue is a pretty important one, I figured that now was as good a time as any to try this new type of review out.
And yes, this is a little late, I was debating whether I should even write this at all, considering the magazine will be going away soon. But in the end I'd already done some work on this, and figured I might as well. It may not be as relevant anymore, but if nothing else, it'll be good for progeny or something.
