To all those who asked the question, the reason CP is not reporting on many manga-related news is because our staff is on vacation. If things go well, regular news reporting should resume this September in one way or another.

We'd like to thank everyone who sent us "ready-made" news and articles and press releases and such, so to keep our site not completely dead this summer :)

Back to watching the Olympics!

During the past few weeks, you may have noticed a slow down in news here on ComiPress. After operating day after day for over 2 years, the staff here at ComiPress decided it's time to close the door and call it quits...just kidding! Although we're not going the way of the dodo, this summer, CP's news staff will be taking a well-deserved break in order to recharge their editorial batteries for the cold weather that is sure to follow.

Of course, this doesn't mean there will be absolutely nothing posted here all summer. Articles and long news posts on special manga-related events (if they happen, that is, ho ho) will still be posted, but the everyday run-of-the-mill news posts that you all know and (hopefully) love will be gone until after August.

In the main time, do visit these sites to to quench your desire for all things manga (think of this as our unofficial summer-online-manga-reading-list):

And the reason...

ComiPress is proud to announce the debut of its newest column, Panelosophy. Written by Chloe Ferguson, Panelosophy will look at the philosophy behind manga here and abroad.

So...who is Chloe Ferguson?

Chloe Ferguson is an occasional columnist, sometimes blogger and always reader. Besides writing the Panelosophy column for ComiPress, she cranks out the occasional review for Manga Life and does her own thing at Shuchaku East. She likes any titles that can be qualified as "comeuppance theater," but is generally game for anything if it's good.

Our sister site LightNovel.org is currently looking for new Japanese translators. If you love light novels and knows Japanese, please contact us here. If you love light novels but don't know Japanese, feel free to contact us anyway as LN.org is also looking for a few contributing writers.

ComiPress is currently looking for a Chinese translator who will be working on one of our upcoming projects, if you're interested, please let us know. (我们需要一个中文翻译,如有兴趣,请与我们联系)

Last but not least, if you like manga and love to write, we're currently looking for new contributing writers, contact us here!

So we have a blog now...where did it come from, and where will it go? (and why does it look so ugly?) Find out in our blog's inaugural post!

Welcome to the 2007 Talk Like A Pirate Day! Yarr, t' wondrous day where gramma be thrown out t' window, and a good ole yarr be thrown into every sin'le sentence.

Edit: The Proofer Hunt is over! A big thank you to all those who applied, you should be contacted by us soon (if not already).

We're currently looking for a new proofreader -- someone with a good command of English, particularly grammar and spelling -- will be checking the spelling, punctuation and grammar of our articles and features (so we don't have to embarrass ourselves with our poor writing abilities).

Please list any previous experiences you've had with this position, such as editing for another website, English major, etc. As an added bonus, you'll be able to read all our articles and features weeks before they come out!

If you're interested, please contact us here.

Site Upgrade: We've just finished upgrading some softwares, as well as moving to a new server, which should fix the downtime issues we've been experiencing recently (and hopefully speed up site access). Please let us know if you notice anything broken or things that don't look right.

It's that time of the year again (hmm...is there a time?). ComiPress is currently looking for contributors who are interested in writing articles and columns on a monthly basis. If you are interested, please contact us through the Contact Form (please use a valid e-mail address) or reach us at this email address.

We're also looking for Japanese to English and/or English to Japanese translators. You will be translating Japanese news and articles into English. Having a basic concept of the manga industry is a plus. If you're still learning Japanese (or English), this will be a great opportunity for you to get more practice.

Again, if you are interested, please contact us via the Contact Form.
