Check Out These Street Fighter Figures Of Chun-Li And Cammy

It’s Chun-Li vs. Cammy from Street Fighter! The figures of the ladies from Street Fighter looks really sweet, especially Chun-Li. What’s even better is Chun-Li doesn’t have cankles. Yay!

Masanori Tanaka created the Chun-Li figure while HogaLee created the Cammy figure. Not sure about you guys, but it sure looks like Chun-Li is about to take out Cammy. Now if only there would be a hot girl cosplaying as Chun-Li in that costume.

VIZ Launches Black Bird Manga Series

VIZ has recently launched a brand new shojo manga series, Kanoko Sakurakoji’s Black Bird. Black Bird is geared towards girls in their teens and retails for $8.99 U.S. / $10.50 CAN.

There is a world of myth and magic that intersects ours, and only a special few can see it. Misao Harada is one such person, but she wants nothing to do with magical realms and just wants to have a normal high school life and maybe get a boyfriend. But all that changes one day when Misao is attacked by a demon. Her childhood friend Kyo suddenly returns to save her and tends to her cuts – with his tongue! It turns out Misao is the bride of prophecy, whose blood gives power to the demon clan who claims her. But most demons want to keep her power for themselves – by eating her! Now Misao is just trying to stay alive and trying to decide if she likes it when Kyo licks her wounds.

Cellphone Manga Market At $345 Million In Japan

Digital manga, that’s manga sold and viewed on mobile phones, sales are improving over in Japan with the market recording sales near $345 million, which is up 43% since 2007. However, the book and magazine market is still declining.

So what’s the most popular manga genre for mobile phones? Josei, romance comics for adult women, often with sexual content.

The limitation of screen size is hampering wider adoption in Japan, according to the report. Adoption in the U.S. is limited by the mobile devices available and the network, but the iPhone is providing an initial platform here for a rapidly growing first market for digital comic content.
