Finally after waiting for literally 6 years Mangas are finally going to see daylight in Croatia. Even though mangas were on Croatian market for at least a year now, they are finally going to be released on Croatian by no other than Algoritam (in which's bookstores you could buy imported manga at first anyway).
I knew that it was just a matter of time before the publisher Algoritam decides to take another step and publish mangas on Croatian as the more convenient  and way cheaper alternative to the imported ones.

I found out about this extraordinary news in the woman's lifestyle magazine Grazia yesterday.

The article was featured in the top 10 stories of the week and it talked about the influence and popularity of mangas, not just being comics themselves but also being something even more, a new trend and pop-culture part whose influence greatly surpasses the borders of graphic novels.
In five days the first manga release on Croatian, the "World of Warcraft" manga will announce the start of the weekly manga releases Croatian wide. In May the real releases will start, with the shoujo mangas "Sugar, Sugar Rune" and "Peach girl" and the shounen mangas "Negima!" and "Blade of the immortal" giving reading material to readers of both sexes and different age groups.
Mangas are going to be released every Thursday and will cost 35kn which is somwhere about 7$ I think (5 euros). Not expensive but not cheap either, especially for those who wish to follow all the series. As for me I'll be following Peach Girl and Sugar Sugar Rune and later Negima (because I already have the first 4 volumes of Negima, but on German). Of course I hope my library will be so good to buy them so that I can borrow them.

This is very, very positive, not just because I have waited so long for that, but for the fact that the Croatian readers will get to know mangas better and those who have already read them won't have to bug with importing mangas.
But honestly, the biggest reason I'm glad this is happening is for the fact that I draw mangas myself and have this one-shot manga I worked two and a half years on and I want to publish it. So yeah, there is this slight chance that maybe one day I could publish my manga on Croatian in Croatia!!!

Most of the foreign manga publishes actually publish mangas from their local manga artists (especially in Germany where home manga artist often have big popularity) so why should it be any different with Croatia? So yeah, can't wait to finish school and enter college, so that I can have the holidays free for offering my manga to my Croatian publisher.
Can't wait :).

今日は皆さん！
Hello everyone! This is my first post here on Vox!
The first intention of this blog was to put the backup of my Croatian J-rock and Visual kei blog, but since ,in the end, there was no need for backup and I didn't want this blog to go to waste, I've decided to write here about Visual kei (ヴィジュアル系) and J-rock (Japanese rock).

I will write album, single, PV and other (you just name it) reviews and all other stuff about J-rock. It will be a good opportunity to share my opinion about J-rock with other people, meet people with similar interests as me from other parts of the world and also it will be a good opportunity to practice my English (and eventually Japanese).

What to say about myself?
I think my posts will tell more about me than I personally can ^-^. My nickname here is Asari (あさり), it's actually a name from one of my manga characters, but I think it's pretty.

So.. That would be it.
You'll hear from me soon.
Bye!

P.S.
Rockerica [Rock-eh-rii-tsa] means rock girl on Croatian.
