[KineJapan] New Book: Media Convergence in Japan

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum]

Dear Markus and Aaron,

It was a real delight to read the introduction to this book and see what you have done with KineJapan and peer review outside the normal publishing system. I wonder if you are planning for that to be a regular function of KineJapan for like-minded projects?

All best,

Bruce
