SEAN: My pick this week is a manga that wasn’t on my radar till I saw some of the reviews on ANN. Stella Must Die sounds like another in the ‘disgraced noble’ throne war sort of genre, maybe with a dash of action, but let’s just say “for fans of Parasyte” is the real draw.
KATE: With so many companies publishing manga in the US right now, it’s easy to overlook Abrams’ Kana imprint. That’s a shame, because they’ve been putting out some incredible books—Leviathan is one of my current faves—and re-issuing older work by artists such as Tsukasa Hojo. If you didn’t realize that Kana is re-introducing American readers to Cat’s Eye (1981-85), I have good news: the third omnibus edition arrives in stores this week.
MICHELLE: I’m definitely interested in Cat’s Eye, but am most excited about a new Natsume’s Book of Friends.
ASH: I’m looking forward to all of those releases, but I’m also tempted by Voices in the Sea Foam. Reincarnation? Mermaids? BL? I’m here for it.
ANNA: I’m going to have to go for the new fancy edition of Witch Hat Atelier, I don’t usually purchase series twice but this is a special series and I’m quite tempted by this especially after the recent art book release.
