April MMF: Mushishi
The nominations are over and the votes are in: Yuki Urushibara’s Mushishi will be the topic for the next Manga Moveable Feast.
Most promisingly, there is another blogger waiting in the wings to host the April event, but I won’t spill the beans until details are finalized and he/she has the opportunity to make their own announcement.
Mushishi is another fairly substantial series: also 10 vols. (2000-2007, Del Rey) and also with an anime adaptation (26 eps, licensed by Funimation) but I think this is just a coincidence; the second place finisher was Ai Yazawa’s Paradise Kiss (5 vols., 2000-2004, Tokyopop) and three one-shots & other shorter series made up the bulk of the remaining nominations.
I leave it to our next host to determine the best way to select the May MMF (Though my vote may just go to Paradise Kiss) — but my experience in this process leads me to suggest combining the nomination and voting into a single post: perhaps instead of a separate poll, I should have just counted the comments as votes?
