I would like to remind you that Otakuthon, document.write(“”); the only anime convention in Montreal, will be held at Concordia university on August 4 & 5. Check their website for details and, if you live in the Montreal area, come meet us there!

New Montreal Manga Store!
The anime store Marché Clandestin has spawned a manga store.

The Marché Clandestin MANGAYA is conveniently located just above the Marché Clandestin: 325 Ontario Est, document.write(“”); Suite 101, Montreal, Qc, H2X 1H7 (Ph: (514) 510-6507; Web: www.mcanime.com/mangaya/). It is open Monday to Saturday, from noon to 7 pm. It is near the Berri-UQAM métro station.
As far as I know it is the first store in Montreal to specialize only in manga — both in French and in English (and eventually in Japanese too!). It covers all genres: shojo, shonen, yaoi, yuri, seinen, etc., and even carries novels. They have a special: buy 10 manga and get one free (of a value up to $12.95 Can).
It has just opened so the place is small and they don’t have a large selection yet, but they already have a nice choice of manga and many titles that you would never see in your regular book store. It is REALLY worth checking out.
Anime News

Rose Of Versailles Revival
This year is the 250th anniversary of the birth of Marie-Antoinette (born in Vienna in 1755) and it seems to be a good pretext for a revival of Rose Of Versailles, document.write(“”); this epic anime drama about a passionate love set with the French Revolution as backdrop.

Furthermore, Rose Of Versailles mangaka, Riyoko Ikeda — who stopped drawing manga a decade ago to dedicate herself to music — has started a new manga series that adapts a novel of Yukio Mishima (more details on ANN).
Update:
Takarazuka will give TWO different performences of Rose Of Versailles:
Takarazuka “Star Troupe will be performing the “Fersen and Marie Antoinette version” first in a national tour, from 9/24 through 10/21. After the tour, they will perform from January – February 2006 in the Takarazuka Grand Theater, and then from February – April 2006 in the Toyko Takarazuka Theater.”
Takarazuka “Snow Troupe will be performing the “Oscar” version from February – March in the Takarazuka Grand Theater, and from April – May in the Tokyo Takarazuka Theater.”
