Japan Post does a beautiful series of anime and manga commemorative stamps. I’ve mentioned a couple of them before, but this set is one of the prettiest they’ve ever done. Dedicated to Riyoko Ikeda’s magnificent manga and anime Versailles no Bara (The Rose of Versailles), it goes on sale next month.

Now all we need is a re-release of Frederik L. Schodt’s English translation from Sanyusha.
