For those of you who want an ASMR preview of Batman manga go here...

If you don't know what ASMR is, you may want to stay clear - not because it's dirty, but you may be confused.

I'm guessing, if advertised properly, this book could be a good seller. I, for one, am curious.

My roommate is always passively making fun of my manga and anime collection, but he's a devout batman fan. I'm totally going to rub this in his face.

Ha. I aways figured there would be some manga/asmr fan crossover. I actually became a fan of both around the same time in 2009, so thanks for the link, here and faraway.

I will definitely try to track down a copy when this comes out. I enjoy seeing how the product of one country's culture is consumed and then regurgitated as a new form. While this applies to pretty much any art produced since the beginning of human history, it can be interesting to see a piece with a more direct and easily discernible correlation between cultures.

This is great news to comic historians. We'll definitely want this. First Bat-Manga and now this. Now I wouldn't mind seeing Kia Asamiya's Childhood Dreams reprinted.

I hope that at some point we'll get to see some other Western comic heroes turned manga released over here. I know there are some X-men versions. And of course thee was the infamous Star Wars manga. Now that was a nice piece. Great news, we always need more of this type of material.
