I was invited to talk this evening about Bonten and why I publish him by Kunisawa-san (Bonten Gekiga Works) at Beams Japan, Shinjuku, but I have influenza. DOH. Ryan Holmberg (@mangaberg ) will be talking for #blackhookpress instead (thank you Ryan). He helped edit this book for which I'm truly grateful I'm gutted I can't do the talk but happy that Badass Babe! Public release is at Beams Japan, thank you Kunisawa-san. If you've already ordered this it's on its way to you. If you haven't ordered this already then be quick and you might get one of last signed (hanko'd) copies left in the store. Limited. Thank you Udagawa-san, Kato-san, Asakawa-san, Shinjiro-san, taiyo-shuppan , printpac, Feargal South, Alex Einz, Lelezard noir, and all you lot for your continued support!

WHAT IS BEAMS JAPAN?

 , 
Beams is a monolith in terms of Japanese mainstream curation fashion and Beams Japan is it's flagship store.  If you are visiting Japan and are a shopaholic then you'll probably end up in here at some point, you'll most likely end up marvelling at what can be purchased at this branch.It's cool.
