MNG. Almanac of Russian Manga. Issue 5

We are glad to welcome you on the pages of the 5th issue of Almanac dedicated to mainly sedze-subjects. This time the work was so much that they did not fit on the usual 256 pages and the editorial office added halfdes. At the moment it is our largest collection.
In the winter of 2011-2012. The results of two large contests were summed up, which publisher conducted among Russian artists - a miniature competition and the competition of chibi characters. Starting from this issue, you will meet on the pages of the Almanaci who took part in the competition (and, of course, the winning works) We are pleased that contests are popular, and will continue to hold them in the future.
Also, I also rush to report that in September 2011, Almans MNG became available to Japanese readers: residents and guests of Tottori Prefecture. The Comic Factory presented several copies of the 1st and 2nd number of the prefectural library. This gift was the key to friendship and intention to participate in the international exhibition of Manga, which will be held in Tottori in the fall of 2012. The Japanese side strongly hopes to participate in Russia in this event, as Asian "Giants" are mainly involved in such exhibitions. The organizers and participants will undoubtedly want to learn how and what artists are painted by such a mysterious, large and cold country, where the bears with balalaiks walk along the streets on SY, and all girls are insanely beautiful
