   Is this the new guy who was on the ICV2 panel?
   Is Borders cutting back on all GNs? Did they have a glut and arereturning to saner levels? How do the Borders orders (sorry) compare to Barnes & Noble?

   Do you mean a few MANGA publishers are feeling the pinch?

   No He wasn’t on the ICv2 panel. His name is Josh Pollak.

   If this is true–that manga publishers are feeling the pinch at Borders–might it not necessarily be due to this new buyer’s individual opinion but rather a response to the *huge* amounts of manga being published nowadays?

   That is, if this phenomenon is true, might it be as likely accurate to cast it as a “market correction” or a business reality than to present it as the idiosyncracy of an individual person, be he personally “manga crazy” or not?

   I can’t see any new buyer cutting the amount of Naruto and Bleach copies in stock, but last time I was home in Michigan I got a copy of Ponent Mon’s Walking Man at Borders. Things like that could easily become more rare.

   Does anyone know how the OEL books actually sell? I’d assume (perhaps wrongly) that a cut in manga stocking would include those titles as well as anything from a publisher that isn’t Tokyopop, Viz, Del Rey, etc.

   well that sucks - not- there is so many bookstores around here that publish manga, besides, there is always the internet. people need to buy the book, not just read it

   Not this publisher. Yaoi Press Borders orders have shot through the roof since Hassler left.
