I can't stand those things, but can't put my finger on why. Big heads, probably. I never like bobble-heads, either.

A fun fact about my chapter - I had to read all but one of series I was to write about for the very first time. And imagine that, they were mostly really great. Who woulda thunk super popular manga are engaging and fun? I got to be excited by almost all for the first time.

When someone talks about whether you can separate someone from their work, I know the someone they’re talking about is a white man. Marginalized creators (including young women who are that man’s victims) are never allowed to have their work considered apart from their marginalization.
