Pick of the Week: Get Up, Stand-Up

SEAN: Not a lot of must-buy titles for me this week, but I will say that if you never got the original manga, the box set of Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku looks like a great buy, and has a sticky notepad as a bonus.

MICHELLE: I’ll be checking out Show-ha Shoten!. It’s less that I’m into comedy duos and more that I’m into Takeshi Obata’s artwork, though.

KATE: I second Michelle’s recommendation: comedy tonight!

ASH: Likewise! As much as I enjoy Wotakoi, my pick this week goes to the debut of Show-ha Shoten! Though I’m unfamiliar with the author, I do find myself intrigued by the series’ premise and I’m definitely looking forward to Obata’s illustrations.

ANNA: Put me down for Show-ha Shoten! as well!

MJ: As a certified Takeshi Obata superfan, there is no other choice for me this week but Show-ha Shoten! I have been a diehard fan since Hikaru no Go, and I’m admittedly happy to see him working with a new writer, so count me IN for his beautiful work.
