Midtown’s list has a whole lotta Tokyopop and not much else. Let’s see what we have…
I don’t really get too many Yaoi titles, but I do have the urge to walk into a bookstore, grab Vol. 2 of Blu’s latest series, and scream out, “This is Madness, do you hear me? Madness!” Just sayin’.
Neko Ramen is a 4-koma from Mag Garden that’s gotten a lot of good buzz. I’ll be very interested in checking it out. As for Portrait of M&N;, I had very mixed feelings about Vol. 1. I do hope that this volume is at least a little sillier, as I feel the first treated its protagonists too realistically to let the situation be funny. As for Alice in the Country of Hearts, I’m wondering if it will be another Vampire Knight for me, i.e. a title I read almost despite myself.
Diamond shipped Saturn Apartments to most stores this week, but the always whimsical Midtown is getting it next week. It’s another title from their Ikki site, and it’s a fantastic SF ‘sense of wonder’ series. If you liked Planetes, get this. And there’s another 20th Century Boys, which I have gotten so far behind on, but which is still a great epic title of epic.
Oh yes, and Diamond will release Previews, which I’m sure will be filled with new CMX solicits, just to TAUNT ME.
