[Review] Halfway There: A Graphic Memoir of Self-Discovery by Christine Mari
Source: https://www.amazon.com/Halfway-There-Graphic-Memoir-Self-Discovery/dp/031641672X By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting When I was researching readings for the development of my Graphic Literature course, I picked up a handful of graphic novels from the nearby Barnes and Noble. One of the most memorable was Halfway There, a graphic memoir by Christine Mari. Long after I finished reading it, I…

[Review] Selling on Mercari
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting So, in 2023 and 2024 I went on what I would call a “Convention Crusade.” I went to several conventions, presented a lot, and basically went way over-budget when it came to purchasing. (It did not help that my credit limit went up right along with it!) Now—thankfully—I have some self-control and didn’t max out any cards or leave myself in an unrecoverable…
[Event Review] MomoCon 2026 & The Second Academic Symposium
MomoCon 2026, entrance to B-building at the Georgia World Congress Center – Picture by Peggy Wood By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last weekend, I attended MomoCon at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, for the second year in a row. Once again, the convention drew thousands of attendees for a celebration of anime, gaming, and pop culture. MomoCon felt every bit as expansive…

[Notes] About Mechademia (Belated notes from a Keynote by Frenchy Lunning at an Anime Expo long ago...)
At an Anime Expo some time ago, there was a keynote and subsequent panel from Mechademia presented by Frenchy Lunning, founder of Mechademia and longtime scholar of anime and manga studies. Here are some (belated) notes from that session discussing Mechademia. What is Mechademia? The answer: a conference, a journal, and academic community that is ever expanding! Mechademia began as an effort…
[Notes] Want to be an Anime Journalist? (Belated notes from an Anime Expo Industry Panel)
A few years ago at Anime Expo, I attended a panel on breaking into anime journalism featuring editors and publishers from some of the biggest names in anime media. Honestly, I thought we had posted it but I can’t find copies so… I guess the notes somehow disappeared into my drafts folder and stayed there until now—so apologies for the delay to everyone! I’ll be posting a few more in the coming…
[Event Review] Anime Town Greenville 2026: Moving In The Right Direction At The Wrong Time
Source: https://www.animetowngreenville.com/ By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting In January I attended Anime Town Greenville for the third year in a row and I believe that this was also their third year hosting in the Greenville Convention Center. I can honestly say that there was a lot of improvement between this year’s convention and the two prior. However, unfortunately, circumstances outside…
[Review] That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea (SPOILERS!)
Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B8SWP82mmo By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last week, I went to see That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea (2026) in theaters, and I ended up watching it twice (once dubbed and once subtitled). While I really enjoyed the movie, I think that if you’re on the fence about going to watch it, I’d honestly recommend waiting…
[Review] The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4: A Rough Start That Never Fully Recovers (Spoilers)

This used to be one of my favorite shows and is…
[Commentary] TEEN TITANS & TEEN TITANS GO: Two Examples of Japanese Animation Influences
Source: https://www.amazon.com/Teen-Titans-G0-DVD/dp/B07TSJWS31 By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I was having a conversation a while ago with a friend of mine about Teen Titans, a show we both grew up having watched and loved. The conversation drifted to other animated superhero movies and shows, but somehow came to Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go! where she mentioned that she wished they had…
Henshin Dekinai: The Doomed Queen is Doomed No More
Henshin Dekinai (No Secrets) Cover Image By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Years ago, I was introduced to the concept of a “doomed queen” in my LGBT+ Literature class. It came in the form of Andrew Holleran’s fictional novel, Dancer From The Dance, which, if you don’t know, is sort of like an updated version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby set in New York City and Fire Island. Both…
[Reflection] Strolling Through Old Watches on MyAnimeList

Not in the sense I stopped using it entirely, but more like I just stopped logging in frequently and stopped using it to save my watchlists. I made this change because I wanted something more……
Mission Accomplished: Building an Accessible, No-Cost Comics Course! MASSIVE UPDATE
Hello, everyone! At the time of writing this post, I’m excited to share that I have completed my design of ENG 225: Graphic Literature, and it is currently under review with my supervisor. While I know this is not a blog centered on teaching practices/materials, I really want to share so… I hope you enjoy! To make it a bit more readable, I did break it into chunks with section heads. (Editorial…

This post is a presentation share for anyone who would like to view the slides and accompanying notes. Notes under each slide reflect my…

Friedman is a pioneering voice of Yuri media and queer representation in anime and manga studies field within the English speaking world.

What to Watch: Spring 2026
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This upcoming season is ramping up to be one of the most stacked I’ve seen in years. Sure, the list of new and returning titles always feels long—but usually, I can narrow things down to about ten “must-watch” shows without too much trouble. This time I wasn’t even close to that. As I started pulling titles, I saw so many major sequels of shows I love (like…
[Recommended Watch] Animal Partner by JJALTOON on YouTube
Source: https://youtu.be/i4wnaymzH0o?si=5qc6nmbuuUqRQ8yZ By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting The last few weeks have been a bit rough. We ended up taking an unexpected hiatus—because of me—mainly because I didn’t have anything prepared for the first time in a long while, didn’t have time to edit other submissions to fill the gap, and was juggling midterms for almost all but two of the eight…
