- Gonzo is streaming the Hennako-chan web-anime on its YouTube channel starting tomorrow, April 25. Based on the calssic black-comedy manga about a girl with psychic powers, the web-anime will consist of six 3-minute episodes coming out every other week, and will also be provided with English (and Chinese) subtitles, via Fujiyama. Update: The first subbed episode is already online. Not bad!

- Viz Media is releasing the first half of the Busou Renkin anime on DVD - in English - on April 29. The 13-episode bundle is packed with all sorts of goodies, and it's priced at $49.98 (roughly $3.8 per episode). The second half of the series will follow later this year.

- American manga sales rose in 2007, but at a slower rate than in previous years.
