Pick of the Week: Soda, Idols, and PTSD

MICHELLE: I’m intrigued by [Oshi no Ko] and Honey Lemon Soda, but how could I not pick the finale of Lost Lad London, which I have enjoyed exceedingly thus far? I hope we see more mysteries in manga form in future!

SEAN: I’m a big fan of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, and I enjoyed Scum’s Wish as much as anyone can enjoy a series like Scum’s Wish. The idea of a collaboration intrigues me, so I’ll go with [Oshi no Ko].

KATE: One of my favorite horror series of the last five years was PTSD Radio, a collection of interconnected vignettes that are every bit as spooky and weird as Junji Ito in top form. If you missed out on this series when it was digital-only, now’s your chance to pick up the first two omnibus volumes; the final omnibus will be available in May, so you won’t have to wait long to read the conclusion.

ANNA: I’m very curious about Honey Lemon Soda, looking forward to checking it out!

ASH: As a fan of horror manga, I appreciate Kate’s reminder about PTSD Radio, which I somehow haven’t actually read yet. My pick this week goes to the debut of BARBARITIES, however; I’ve been looking forward to giving another manga by Tsuta Suzuki a try.
