Pick of the week: Killer Viz-ion

MICHELLE: It’s the once-a-year release of Kaze Hikaru and there’s also the debut of the fun-looking Happy Kanoko’s Killer Life, but if it’s my last chance ever, I simply must pick Haikyu!!. I didn’t think anything could supplant Hikaru no Go as my favorite sports manga, but Haikyu!! has done it. I’m going to miss this series so much.

SEAN: It’s hard to ignore Viz this week, but ignore I must, because Happy Kanako’s Killer Life is hilarious. Well, if you find murder repugnant, I would not read it. But honestly, most of the people Kanako kills are terrible, and she’s just such an airhead that the whole thing becomes hysterical. The author posted the first 4 chapters – in Japanese and English – on their Twitter, I can’t wait to read more of it.

ANNA: Every summer Kaze Hikaru comes out and every summer I must pick the latest volume!

ASH: While I am intrigued by Happy Kanako’s Killer Life, my heart belongs to Viz this week. Both Haikyu!! and Kaze Hikaru are highlights for me, but the debut of Golden Wind gets my official pick!
