Manga is still a big draw, especially Nobuhiro Watsuki’s “Shojo Beat” and Kazune Kawahara’s High School Debut (2008, both Viz Media).
She’s probably talking about the Shojo Beat magazine, which may have featured Rurouni Kenshin and Buso Renkin's creator, Nobuhiro Watsuki, in the past...I guess. And then there’s this librarian:
Manga mania has not escaped us, with Maki Murakami’s “Gravitation” (Tokyopop) pulling in new readers every week.Either the library doesn’t know much about Gravitation, or it’s a very cool school—it’s hard to imagine that many schools would want to potentially brush up against angry parents by carrying a yaoi manga, even if it’s not hardcore.

























When did this happen.
