I'm taking a history of dynastic China class right now at MIT so that's why I read some of these.

+I also wrote about this topic previously on Matrix:
+
+> The Manga Guide to Databases: So this is actually a real book that I found at the SIPB office last year, and it's kinda underwhelming because it's just a manga about the basics of databases. The novelty wears off pretty quickly. I guess it might be helpful if you're a beginner at databases.
+>
+> 非人哉: Over the past few years I've been trying to improve my Mandarin skills so I read part of this manga/manhua series, which is about some people and monsters from Chinese mythology trying to adapt to modern-day life. It's pretty brain-dead but still fun. I think there's an unofficial English translation but it's pretty bad.
+>
+> OK... very weird story incoming: I visited Hong Kong last summer and saw 珠江桥牌-brand anime girl soy sauce in a supermarket. Yes, seriously. Longtime readers of my blog probably know what I'm talking about. Anyways, I recently discovered that that sauce company has a Facebook page with a long-running corporate propagana manga about their sauce. It's very strange since they're a freaking Hong Kong soy sauce company, not an anime convention, so I don't know why they would spend so much effort on that manga, given that no one probably reads it. I also do not recommend it unless you can read traditional Chinese (I can't really) and really love soy sauce.
