Puff Daddy/Diddy created girl group Danity Kane is releasing a comic. This was the paragraph that made my brain shriek:
“Right now, it’s just a regular comic, but we want to do a manga issue. We love manga and anime,” Richard said. “’Full Metal Alchemist’ is the bomb, and we are such junkies for ‘Yu-Gi-Oh!’ and ‘Dragon Ball Z‘.”
I do agree that Fullmetal Alchemist is the bomb, but I don’t think the world needs any more pop stars issuing manga about themselves. Eep! The preview comic linked in the article above is scary looking.

i honestly think it’s really cool that they are doing this…i mean, they’re not the first pop group to do this, the backstreet boys had themselves turned into a comic back in the day…but that they would mention their love for anime/manga makes me happy!
