There’s an absolutely ludicrous quantity of manga coming out this week. Worse still, much of it is manga I either really like or am curious about. (It would be absurd even if I hadn’t barely made a dent in my SPX haul.)
ADV rushes out with the third volume of Yotsuba&! They can’t come fast enough, in my opinion. I’ll never understand why ADV still hasn’t uploaded any information on the book to its web site, though.
Del Rey provides the fifth volume of Othello (and please go over to Scoffing at Gravity to read Mely’s thoughts on that and a number of other titles, because they’re fascinating).
Tokyopop debuts both Dramacon and Steady Beat. Gump has an early review of SB over at Keromaru. Some sample pages of Dramacon were included in Bizenghast, and it looks very promising.
Viz has the fifth volume of Hikaru No Go, the second volume of Tokyo Boys and Girls, and something called Socrates in Love, a manga adaptation of a best-selling novel that has me morbidly curious. It seems like a long time since a new volume of HNG came out.
And that’s just the manga. DC has… well… pretty much nothing for me, but Evil Twin has Action Philosophers: Self Help for Ugly Losers, Marvel has Defenders 3 and Young Avengers 7, and Oni has the first issue of Polly and the Pirates.
