I will join in the farewells, too. Jason, thank you for 5 years of bringing so much manga to light. While I admittedly didn't read every single entry in HoTM, each one I did read was written so well (by both you & Shaenon), with the sheer emotion & feeling the subject delivered being so well described.
On a completely personal level, though, I do have to thank Jason for getting me to start writing about manga. In short, I wondered if Jason would ever cover Ultimate Muscle once Viz released the final volume of the manga. He responded that he wasn't familiar enough to cover it before asking if I'll cover it. In the end I decided to review it because Jason kind of "requested" it, & now I occasionally do review manga. A year later, Shaenon would cover UM herself for MoTM. So happy sails, Jason! |

Thanks for the years of great analysis and writing. You've given me a lot of series to check out, and i'll be looking for your future features

Aww, this one ending hits close to home. Thanks to this column I took a dive into Hunter X Hunter - which became my favorite Shonen series - and made me appreciate Dragon Ball the manga for the seismic impact it had in both the Japanese and American industries. When I can, and if they become legally available in English, I'll try and take a gander at Jason's list of favorites. I wonder what he'd think of Shokugeki No Soma, which sounds similar to his Iron Wok Jan except that SNS's author hasn't yet realized how misconceived his female lead is. I love SNS to the point that, like with Jason and IWJ, it actually got me cooking, so I'd be interested in his opinion.
Here's to more manga writing in ANN. If it displays the same level of quality and professionalism that this feature did, I sincerely look forward to it. And best luck to Jason in his future endeavors. |

This was one of my favourite columns. I will always look forward to your and Shannon writing about manga. I hope that the manga coverage on this site doesn't suffer as a result of the column ending. I still miss RTO as well....

Mine does too, but considering a nice chunk of the manga in the YA section came from the neorune household (Tsubasa, FMA, Cardcaptor Sakura, and a few other titles I can't recall off the top of my head), no one really cares if I peek at what else they have. |

I've lost count of the number of manga I read because of your column. Thank you for these five years! I wish you the best of luck

You allways helped me find rare and interesting, but also trashy new mangas. I enjoyed most of them, but I wasn't able to finish Japan Inc. It was on another level of trash I guess
Thank you very much! |

It's a shame this column is ending so soon. There are tons of interesting manga still out there just waiting to be uncovered like "Crest of the Royal Family,"an interesting gem that could be considered the inspiration for stuff like "Inuyasha." Although the ending of this was very creative,it's still very sad to see it go. I hope someone else will one day reopen the House of 1000 Manga to all those who enjoyed it.

Sorry to see this column go. Not only did it introduce me to new things, but it also reminded me at times of manga I needed to finish collecting. I'm really going to miss the banner and title "House of 1000 Manga", because I knew I'd read something interesting or special. Heck I think its a mistake to get rid of the title as its eye-catching and really directs your attention. I would have said just hire more writers to share the load. Well...let me just then say great job and thanks for all your contributions.

I'm glad Kakukaku Shikajika made it into the list. Your column is the sole reason I checked this manga out (or even learned about it), and it was so worth it – the best manga I've ever read.
Thank you for that. |

While I rarely posted in the accompanying threads for the column I always read the column itself. I found it a very informational and helpful tool to help me find several manga series I probably would not have discovered otherwise. So thanks for 5 great years of fun reviews and a great column. Best of luck on future endeavors
I know I'll look forward to your occasional articles at ANN in the future.
