So, I've been following the massive group blog at Tor.com since it launched; I don't usually read many of the entries in detail, but it makes for interesting skimming, as everything under the damn sun is blogged about.
For instance, today Jane Lindskold talks a bit about the advantages of the graphic novel ... and uses
Fruits Basket as an example of the evocative power the genre has to convey emotions in a way that prose doesn't.
I understand there may be some people who have a fondness for both the subject and the series in question.
