I find it interesting that this is the second year in a row that the Bachelder was given to a novel translated from the Japanese, and that in both cases, there's a link to the manga/anime industry. Last year it was "Brave Story," published by Viz, which is primarily known for publishing manga and anime. This year it's "Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit," which was adapted into an anime series. Up until a week ago, the show was broadcast by Cartoon Network.
