Pick of the Week: Female Leads and Cool… Guys?

MICHELLE: I’m quite interested in two debuts this week. Diary of a Female Lead and The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy at All both appeal to me, but I will give the edge to the latter for that absolutely striking front cover!

SEAN: Absolutely no question, it’s The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy at All. Get hype, this is gonna be great.

KATE: I second those picks–both covers look promising!

ANNA: I’m not going to go against the consensus this week!

ASH: The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy at All is defiantly the debut I’m most interested in this week, but did you know that Yokai, a full-color artbook of Shigeru Mizuki’s illustrations, was just released last week? It is SO GOOD.

    Frankly could have done without the translator resorting to “Jesus” on page 48 to render Anya’s dismay on getting rained on, it’s a matter of QC, somebody wasn’t there to catch it.
