Manga the Week of 3/21/18

SEAN: More manga, more problems. Shall we add to the stack?

Dark Horse has a 4th volume of the Vocaloid spinoff Hatsune Miku: Rin-chan Now!!.

J-Novel Club has a 2nd Ao Oni volume, this one subtitled Vengeance.

Kodansha Digital has a new release, and I’m definitely looking forward to it. Perfect World is about a young woman who reunites with her first love as an adult, only to find he’s now in a wheelchair. It’s a josei title, running in Kiss.

MICHELLE: I’m looking forward to this very much!

ANNA: I’m always up for more josei.

ASH: Josei!

SEAN: There are also ongoing volumes. Fuuka 17, Giant Killing 11, Kasane 11, and Love’s Reach 7. Also, I’m in Love and It’s the End of the World has its 5th and final volume.

MICHELLE: It’s over already?! I didn’t even have the chance to get started.

SEAN: Print-wise, we get a 4th Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight and a 3rd Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty.

MICHELLE: I’m looking forward to more Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty.

ASH: I found the beginning of the series to be rather intriguing, so I’m looking forward to more, too.

SEAN: One Peace has a 10th Rise of the Shield Hero light novel.

Seven Seas has three debuts next week. DNA Doesn’t Tell Us runs in Shonen Sirius, and seems to be a cutesy animal girls series.

Dragon Half is a legendarily silly anime from the dawn of time (aka the 1990s), and its manga ran in Dragon Magazine. Seven Seas is putting it out in omnibus format. I absolutely can’t wait. Expect laughs and old-style art.

ASH: I know so many people who were absolutely thrilled when this was licensed. I’m personally not familiar with the Dragon Half anime, but I definitely plan on checking out the manga!

SEAN: And Mononoke Sharing is a perverse comedy that runs in Young Magazine the 3rd and is by the author of Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid. I can wait on this one.

Also from Seven Seas is a 2nd Nirvana and an 8th Testament of Sister New Devil.

Vertical gives us a 5th Flying Witch.

Viz has Children of the Whales 3 (grim), Golden Kamuy 4 (grim but also amusing and filled with delicious food) and Sweet Blue Flowers Omnibus 3 (grim in a yuri angst sort of way).

MICHELLE: Woot for Sweet Blue Flowers, despite the grim.

ANNA: I finally read the first volume, it is so well done.

ASH: Sweet Blue Flowers is wonderful. I’m really enjoying Golden Kamuy, too.

SEAN: And Yen has a few titles as well. ACCA 13-Territory Inspection Department has a 2nd volume. Kiss and White Lily for My Dearest Girl has a 5th.

ASH: I’m always happy to have more of Natsume Ono’s work translated! ACCA has a terrific atmosphere to the storytelling.

SEAN: Twinkle Stars comes to an end with its 5th and final omnibus. Being it was 11 volumes total, this omnibus is larger than the others. I enjoyed it more than I expected.

MICHELLE: I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me that the fifth omnibus would be the final one!

ANNA: Another series I need to get caught up on!

ASH: I need to catch up, too, but I really liked the first few omnibuses.

SEAN: And Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? finally gets in on the 4-koma parody comics schtick, as Days of Goddess is just that. Danmachi fans should love it.

Dare you add to your unread piles? What are you getting?
