The Old School Otaku Lounge

Very sad for folks who have no backups of their stock. I guess Imgur is the way to go. Photobucket's T&Cs were dodgy too.

Ooh thanks for the share

Looks like one of the Mondo2000 sort of magazines

A great read!

Glad you all found it interesting, I was so surprised to find it! I guess all names are pseudonyms, like the VAs for Kei and Yuri are literally credited as Ako and Bko?

OH Felipe Smith's "Peepo Choo" is the BEST trilogy book series, well worth a read if people haven't already - so bitter but also so pure!

Thanks! :) Yeah you can get the UK version of RSoM (there were 3 UK/IR versions, and the USA had about 8 I think), on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Rising-Stars-Manga-UK-Ireland/dp/1427811652/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1500285150&sr=8-6&keywords=rising+stars+uk+tokyopop ...$1.89 new, bargai...

Hi all! I was doing some YouTubing and stumbled across this animation uploaded last year.

Missed this thread! I did get published by Tokyopop in 2007 as I scraped by in the UK RSoM book, but then they promptly went bust after that. It was a heartbreaker really because despite the dreadful contract content it felt like people who were inspired by manga-style had a platform. But it's taken...

Fantastic bargain!! Brilliant clean cover cel art too. I have the mini tankobon of this series that I got from Book-Off for 200yen or something about 12 years ago I saw some of the TV anime. I wonder if there will be a global release now sports anime is having a bit of a surge?
