Crowning Moment of Awesome: Ken's starting up an online site that will be hosting out-of-print manga. The price? Free. The mangakas will be paid via ad revenue. He's doing what manga publishers fear most and if it works out, could potentially be the start of a mangaka revolution.

Umm...nobody forgot about his famous Kansas City Shuffle involving Negima, yes? Specifically, he wanted to write an action epic while his publishers wanted a Love Hina style Unwanted Harem.

Not to mention that it was too popular to change, anyway.
