Those girls (the Chiba University students I met about a month ago) didn't respond to the two emails I sent. Which is fine, (though it was their idea to exchange emails and they asked me a bunch to contact them ) because I only knew 'em for a day. Do you think I should send a courtesy email about how they're doing, ask if their families are alright, see if they haven't gone back to Japan yet due to the events in Japan, etc. or does that seem lame and bothersome? And if I was to send them a message like that, would it be best to use polite speech?
I wouldn't mind responding to manga-related questions again. As a matter of fact, I already have been.

It sucks those girls didn't reply. I wouldn't bother messaging them again but you are too nice not to. This time, you would need to somewhat raise the politeness level of your speech but not by much.
