Manga Giveaway: Genkaku Picasso Giveaway Winner

And the winner of the Genkaku Picasso Giveaway is…Ikari!

As the winner, Ikari will be receiving a brand new copy of Usamaru Furuya’s Genkaku Picasso, Volume 1. Last week, Experiments in Manga hosted the Usamaru Furuya Manga Moveable Feast. I decided to coordinate this month’s giveaway with the Feast by selecting one of Furuya’s manga.

For the giveaway, I wanted to learn a little bit about how other people were first introduced to Furuya and his works. Check out the Genkaku Picasso Giveaway comments for some great stories. I was surprised by how many people’s first experience was Short Cuts, although I probably shouldn’t have been. Personally, I didn’t find out about Furuya until Lychee Light Club was licensed. I think I can safely say that I’ve made up for it since then, though.
