Compared to past months, I actually consider January to be a fairly reasonable month for me when it comes to new acquisitions. Hopefully, this trend will continue for a bit—I know both my wallet and my bookcases (or lack thereof) would appreciate it. Anyway, as for manga that I was particularly excited to see in January—Takako Shimura’s Wandering Son is always at the top of my list. For some reason, my copy of the sixth volume arrived a few weeks later than those of a lot of people I know, but I was happy to finally get it. I was also very excited for the release of the second Vinland Saga omnibus. Actually, I think I enjoyed it even more than the first omnibus. (There’ll be a review coming soon!) I’m also really looking forward to reading the next volumes in Mitsuhisa Kuji’s Wolfsmund and Nico Tanigawa’s Watamote. Plus, there’s a new Kou Yoneda manga in English—NightS!
