From the Bookshelf: Anime Supremacy!

Hearing Vertical had licensed a title called Anime Supremacy!, said to be about three women working in the anime industry, did get my attention; a few thoughts of "it might strike a fine balance of comforting familiarity with, yet fresh differences from, Shirobako" came to mind. It wasn't until I was taking a copy off the shelf in the bookstore, though, that I seemed to really realise, or at least remember, it wasn't a one-shot manga but a translated novel. That did for a few moments have me wondering about all the times I've thought translated-from-Japanese prose not quite sparkling as I've plugged through it; as in other cases, however, the premise was appealing enough I was willing to take a chance.
