I’m pleased to announce that we’ve added two new members to the Manga Recon team: Chloe Ferguson and Isaac Hale. Chloe comes to us courtesy of Shuchaku East, where she blogs about otaku culture, and ComiPress, where she contributes a monthly column called Panelosophy. As you may have inferred from her glowing review of The Demon Ororon Ultimate Edition, Chloe is a big fan of Hakase Mizuki. Isaac is also an active blogger and reviewer whose work at Authentic Mango caught my attention. He’s currently a student at Occidental College in Los Angeles and counts Akira, The Antique Bakery, Even a Monkey Can Draw Manga and Yotsuba&! among his favorite series.

Please help us welcome Chloe and Isaac to PopCultureShock!
