Those who’ve been following our Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook accounts would’ve seen a new addition to the Kuriousity content these past couple of months. I now have an Instagram account where I’ve been posting a random photo of a page (or series of panels) from a manga I’ve recently finished reading.

There’s never enough time in the day to review and share the manga  I read, so I wanted a little extra something that would let me showcase what I’ve just read. I’ve tried to pick a shot that I feel does a good job representing that particular volume or series as a whole. … or maybe just one that’s funny, beautiful or confusing. Whatever stands out to me and says ‘this is this manga!’.

You can follow these little snippets into the manga reading life of me by subscribing if you have your own Instagram account, or by following me on Twitter, Kuriousity on Tumblr or liking our page on Facebook.

We’re welcoming a new reviewer to Kuriousity this week – Victoria Martin! She’ll be posting reviews for a variety of genres with her first, Ikigami (Vol. 05), going up this past Thursday.

Victoria previously wrote reviews for the now gone Manga Life (where Shannon also wrote for previously) and was a member of Animaritime staff which Andre and I currently help organize every year.

“Victoria Martin has been a manga fan every since university, when a particularly evil, enabling friend introduced it to her (as well as re-introducing her to anime as well). Seven years later, she has quite the collection of books on her shelves, mostly shoujo/josei but with some others as well. She’s always looking for the next series to love and cherish and religiously re-read for years.”

A big welcome to Victoria! I know she’ll be a perfect fit here on Kuriousity and look forward to seeing more of her writing here at its new home.

Also, while on topic of the Kuriousity crew, a Happy Birthday to Andre and best wishes to Shannon who’s off to England for a few months!

As promised (warned?) when Kuriousity officially moved to kuriousity.ca, our new layout launched late this past weekend! Why 3.2? It’s Kuriousity’s third complete layout and it went through a couple different incarnations before launching as you see it.

It’s similar to the prior one in terms of the set-up (no sense fixing what isn’t broken, right?) but I designed it to rely much less on images to speed up loading and added some more customized sections to make navigation easier. You’ll also see mini author bios on all our posts and some easier to use social media icons as well.

Of course there’s also the Kuriousity banner which I always have fun filling with a college of my favourite series. Can you name all the characters/series/artists up there now?

If you have any issues viewing the site with the new layout or have a suggestion, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I hope you like our new layout and continue to stop back often for Kuriousity’s new content!

Edit (May 25th): … new commenting system implemented! Now introducing a comment structure that actually makes conversational sense – enjoy :)
