Broccoli Books Blog 

Just a quick note that one of the newer manga companies around has a blog. Most of their titles don't interest me, but it is still nice that they have a blog. Also, the latest thing coming out (Juvenile Orion) is based on a card game (Aquarian Age) that sounds like it has an interesting concept. Courtesy Gersen:

To make it short, Aquarian Age is a popular japanese card game (think Magic the Gathering) with the cards, mostly reprensenting cute girls, drawned by various well know Artist (CLAMP, Keiji Goto ,etc...)

...

The basic story (short version)is :

Three groups of girls have fought each other for thousands of years, Arayashiki (Preistress), WIZ-DOM (Wizard and Sorceress) and Darklore (Semi-human beast, Vampire, etc...) on present day begin a new age, the Aquarian Age, where two new female group appear : E.G.O. (Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis, etc...) and Eraser (Hostiles Aliens) but also apear a male group : Mind Breakers having ability to control and use the powers of the members of the other groups. (In the game the two player are mind breakers)

Like I said in JO it's the opposite the groups are male and the mind breakers are female. JO was made for female fans of the game.

So, I dunno about the manga, but the game itself sounds kind of interesting to me. Maybe they'll bring it over one of these days...
