"Please, Jeeves"

I am very happy right now, for several reasons.

1. My latest obsession, Jeeves and Wooster, has its own manga series.

2. It's an excellent manga series with dead-on perfect illustrations, stories and dialogue lifted right from the short stories, and facts pages at the end with information from the Wodehouse Society and photographs of the actual places where the stories took place. And it was clearly written and drawn by people who love what they're doing.

In fact, the only problem a chappie could possibly have with "Please, Jeeves" is that it's too dashed short.

I'd actually been thinking what a great anime Jeeves and Wooster would make. Anime and manga is, as a whole, surprisingly fond of "wealthy English gentleman" humor. (I think the artists just like to draw all those great sleeves, ties and tophats.)

If you like, you can read it here.

Now someone please make this into an anime.
