SEAN: Nothing immediately leaps out at me. I think I’ll pick the manga version of Villainess Level 99, because I enjoyed the light novel, and the protagonist has that “deadpan yet earnest” vibe to her.
MICHELLE: In the absence of any exciting-to-me debuts, I’ll choose volume three of Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun!
ANNA: I’m delighted for the next volume of Nina the Starry Bride!
KATE: I’m voting for Issak, which sounds like the kind of entertaining manly-man nonsense that Dark Horse and ComicsOne used to publish by the truckful back in the day.
ASH: All good votes, but I’ll add yet one more to the mix! I will be enthusiastically returning to the Maiden’s Bookshelf for the illustrated edition of Osamu Dazai’s The Girl Who Became a Fish.
