As part of the Something More series of posts, each week Beneath the Tangles links to writings about anime and manga that involve religion and spirituality.  If you’ve written such a piece or know of one, please email TWWK if you’d like it included.

  1. Thank you very much for linking to me! And thank you for your blog–I greatly enjoy reading it and it’s introduced me to some anime that I plan to try out soon. =)
