Noting that current fashion in Japan is “manga-like”, vogue has decided to do a manga special in their latest issue. There’ll be a special feature on the influence of manga on fashion, as well as a section where manga characters will wear spring and summer collection items picked by the magazine’s fashion director. Finally at the VOGUE NIPPON and Comme des Garçons MAGAZINE ALIVE shop, they will be selling collaboration t-shirts featuring famous manga-ka’s illustrations of famous fashion icons, including Karl Lagerfeld x CLAMP, John Galliano x Hagio Moto, Donatella Versace x Monkey Punch, Coco Rocha x Peach-Pit, and others. The issue is out on the 28th of this month.

The “mondo cult shop” affiliated with Comic Market will be closing down on the 30th of next month. They have a 30-50% off sale until their closing, so stock up on your nazi uniforms, Robert Crumb comics, and 70s-style ero doujins while you can.

Rei’s nipples in HD, of course. (nws, duh)

So what do you do when you have an anime that sells 40,000 singles in a week of an insert song? Make new OP/EDs, of course!

New OP apparently called Scramble Dash! and the new ED is Bonbon! Bon!?. Singles due out on 7/15.
