Ken Akamatsu/Awesome


 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: Ken's starting up an online site that will be hosting out-of-print manga. The price? Free. The mangakas will be paid via ad revenue. He's doing what manga publishers fear most and if it works out, could potentially be the start of a mangaka revolution.
 * It's not going easy though. WARNING! Link is Not Safe for Work.
 * Apparently it got better. Amazon takes a while to take all stats into consideration.
 * Memetic Mutation (Yep, Akamatsu is doing more research with his wife...)
 * (Also, KEN DID THE RESEARCH.)
 * The basis behind Mahou Sensei Negima. He faked out his publishers!
