Manga Monday: Seraphim 266613336 Wings
Feb. 23, 2015
Out this week is our second manga by Satoshi Kon: Seraphim 266613336 Wings.

Jan. 12, 2015
Seraphim is the co-creation not only of Satoshi Kon but of Ghost in the Shell director Mamoru Oshii, and I can’t think of another case where two such talented anime directors collaborated on a manga.
