    Thank you to all the people who took the time to enter SacAnime’s Summer 2012 Manga Contest. There were a lot of great entries, many of them good enough to win the contest. The three that did win stood out because they had the best blending of story and art. We won’t be having a Manga Contest for our Winter show, but it will return for the summer, new and improved.
