Pick of the Week: Autumn Manga

MICHELLE: Although it technically came out last week, it wasn’t really on my radar ’til this week, so I’m going to go with Kokkoku: Moment by Moment. I don’t read a lot of seinen thrillers, and this one sounds interesting!

SEAN: I’ve always been a big fan of Nichijou, so my pick this week will be the Bold volume of Helvetica Standard. Will it be strange? I hope it’s strange.

KATE: With Halloween right around the corner, my vote goes to Until Your Bones Rot (Hone ga Kusaru Made); it sounds a little like I Know What You Did Last Summer, only nastier. I’m not sure if Kodansha will be releasing it on Tuesday, though, since Amazon and ComiXology seem to have scrubbed all references to the series from their pages.

ASH: There’s not a lot coming out this week that I’m actively following, but I did enjoy the first half of Assassin’s Creed: Awakening and am curious to see how it ends. (I was initially drawn to the manga due to the involvement of Kenji Oiwa who was also the artist of the manga adaptation of Otsuichi’s Goth, which may be even more seasonally appropriate.)

ANNA: It is my known tendency to go for whatever happens to be light and fluffy shoujo and I’m not going to stray from tradition. My pick is the second volume of Beasts of Abigaile, because I feel it is important to celebrate the month of October with reverse harem werewolf manga.
