Ooku

[la_vie_noire]

Ooku wins James Tiptree Award. It's the first time a manga has won. Ooku has also was "recipient of special prize at The Japanese Association of Feminist Science Fiction and Fantasy's fifth annual Sense of Gender awards (2005), Excellence Award for manga at Japan Media Arts Festival (2006), and Grand Prize in Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize (2009)".

I post this because I can. And because, against all economy odds, I ordered the first two volumes. Oops.

Oh God. How much I don't want to study Biochemistry. Let me count the ways.

Ah, it's so cool that it won! *is ridiculously excited*

The Tezuka Award is huge, too; I hadn't realized about that one.
