Super-fun Number 1 Tattoo Man Kill Many Demon!
Got an offer for hundreds of thousands (of yen) for the first book of the Painted Man series today. It’s not huge compared to the Western offers, but it is apparently quite sizeable for Japan.
I know the Japanese tend to be much more literal in their book titles than Americans, and it winds up translating back weirdly. I am excited to see how that shakes out. I am also totally stoked at seeing my work in Japanese characters.
Maybe they will want to do a manga comic version of the book, too. They could call it Painted Manga!
I’m ordering sushi tonight, and cracking open that bottle of sake in the fridge.
