Look What Came in the Mail

Elizabeth and Linda have been in Japan collecting stamps, paper goods, manga, photographs, and various wounds and abrasions that come with travelling in a wheelchair in Japan and eating unfamiliar food.. I’ve been following their adventures in Elizabeth’s blog but hadn’t expected a postcard at all at all. There was, ahem, some undignified squeaks of delight the other day when the postcard was plucked out of the mailbox–Mount Fuji on the front and a note and stickers on the back.

How manga became a subject of interest in our household is a matter of debate. Maybe it’s an offshoot of comics. Maybe it’s a echo of 1990s conversations about anime. Or maybe it’s all Elizabeth’s fault. )
