SEAN: No question, my pick this week is The Manga Bible, the new nonfiction coffeetable book by Helen McCarthy. It looks terrific, and is no doubt a treasure trove of lore.
MICHELLE: I agree; it looks amazing.
ANNA: Absolutely the release to highlight this week!
KATE: I’m excited to pick up a copy of The Manga Bible, but I’ll also make a pitch for Rock Is a Lady’s Modesty, a manga that doesn’t break all the rules, but recognizes that even demure young women like REALLY LOUD MUSIC. As a late-in-life metal fan, that’s a message I can get behind.
ASH: I can get behind that message, too! And also The Manga Bible, which should be excellent. (Although, I personally would have gone with a different title for the work, to avoid being conflated with the various other manga bibles out there…)
