Pick of the Week: Long Live the Queen

emeraldas1SEAN: As I stated earlier, Queen Emeraldas is my absolute pick of this week, though there are many things I’m interested in. It’s such a classic series. If you’ve ever seen Harlock, or Galaxy Express 999, or just love classic 70s shonen (it ran in Weekly Shonen Magazine), you should read this.

MICHELLE: It is definitely my pick as well, but I will absolutely be picking up Liselotte & Witch’s Forest and Sweetness and Lightning, too!

ASH: There are quite a few new releases that I’m interested in, including Sweetness and Lightning, but my pick of the week likewise goes to Queen Emeraldas. I’m very happy that Kodansha Comics is willing to take a chance on an older series, and especially on one that’s not created by Osamu Tezuka. (Not that I have anything against Tezuka; I’m just glad to see other creators being translated, too.)

MJ: Oh, wow, here I am in the middle of an intense rehearsal process (if you do not know what I’m talking about CLICK HERE) and all this incredible manga is appearing in front of me! I’m interested in everything that’s been mentioned here, but I absolutely have to jump on the Queen Emeraldas bandwagon. So much love for 70s manga! I can’t wait to see it!

ANNA: I’m all in for Queen Emeraldas, in fact I am ordering it right now!
