SEAN: There are a number of Very Important Authors releasing works this week, which are all no doubt excellent, but I know I won’t be touching them, alas, as I am me. Instead, I’ll go back in time and pick the first volume of Magic Knight Rayearth II, the series that introduced “why can’t she just date both of them?” to many anime and manga fans.
MICHELLE: Having already picked The 13th Footprint a weeks ago, I suppose I’ll go with Tower Dungeon this time. I don’t really care about rescuing a princess, but Nihei does well with labyrinthine landscapes, in my experience, so the art might be worth a look.
ASH: The release I’m most curious about this week is Brain Damage. Shintaro Kago’s work is definitely not for everyone, but I’m glad to see more of it being translated.
ANNA: There’s quite a few interesting things coming out this week, but I’m going to take the opportunity to highlight the rerelease of Red River with the latest 3-in-1 volume. Do they make shoujo adventure like this anymore???
KATE: I’m also curious about Tsutomu Nihei’s latest, so I’m going to back MIchelle’s play and pick Tower Dungeon.
