Pick of the Week: Magi and Mermen!

magi14MICHELLE: Alas, there’s not a whole lot that I’m looking forward to in next week’s round of releases, but I am always happy for a new volume of Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, so the 14th installment of same earns my pick of the week.

ASH: The releases this week run a whole gamut of genres, but I’ve recently been in the mood for some new comedy. Merman in My Tub looks as though it should be suitably ridiculous, so that’s one I’ll definitely be picking up to try.

SEAN: I’ll bite the bullet and go for Kiss Him, Not Me this week. Not overly enthused due to the weight loss thing, but if it manages to be suitably ridiculous and hammer on the fujoshi aspect, it could be a winner.

MJ: I admit it’s a sketchy week for me. I’m at a loss for a completely sure pick, but I think I’ll join Ash and take a chance this week on Seven Seas’ Merman in My Tub. I don’t exactly have the greatest trust in Seven Seas when it comes to publishing manga that’s really to my taste, but I gotta admit this looks fun. I’ll give it a try!

ANNA: There’s not a lot this week coming out that appeals to me, so I’m going to join Michelle in picking Magi. One day I will get caught up on that series!
