posted on by Eric Stimson
Also publishes guide to creating manga book clubs

The manga and anime publisher Viz Media has joined the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) as a corporate member. The CBLDF is a non-profit organization dedicated to countering efforts to censor comic books or restrict public access to them. It writes letters of support in book challenges, combats restrictive legislation, and sponsors lectures and programs on censorship.

Viz has kicked off its membership by publishing the Manga Book Club Handbook, a guide to manga for librarians and the uninitiated as well as an explanation of how to launch a manga book club. It is available here and at the CBLDF booth at San Diego Comic-Con.

The other manga-related members of the CBLDF include Comixology, Dark Horse Comics, Diamond Comic Distributors, IDW Publishing, Image Comics, Penguin Random House, ReedPOP, Scholastic and TFAW.com.
