I’m not sure why it’s shipping 2 weeks later than all their other titles, but it’s great to see another volume of Karakuri Odette from Tokyopop. Odette is easily one of the best robot girls in manga. And I look forward to more of Asao being a grumpy cuss as well.
Viz has all their ‘not Shonen Jump or Shojo Beat’ mainstream titles this week, including the third Inu Yasha VIZBIG Edition, for those who didn’t buy it the first time. Looking at the unread Vol. 2 sitting by my desk, I’m starting to get nervous. They also have another new series from Shonen Sunday, Maoh: Juvenile Remix, which sounds like it should be a sequel to a seinen manga called Maoh but isn’t. It’s about espers instead.
Yen has a whole PILE of Korean stuff, which I don’t really pick up much of. Not that some of it isn’t great, but I already get too much from Japan as it is. There’s also a new volume of Black Butler, which I’m sure will join its brother on the NYT bestseller charts. Note to self: don’t do that Black Butler drinking game where you take a shot every time he smirks.
And there’s the debut of My Girlfriend’s a Geek, which I suspect will sell a lot better than the literal title, My Girlfriend’s a Yaoi Fangirl. Based off of a light novel, which in turn is based off of a blog. It’s from Enterbrain, so naturally all bloggers will have to review it. I think it’s in the blogger’s code or something.
