There’s plenty of promising manga to be found in the November 2005 edition of Previews, though the number of debuting titles seems a bit more restrained than last month. Even Tokyopop manages to come in with under a dozen launches.
ALC offers Yuri Monogatari volume 3, featuring “original stories by artists and writers from Japan, America, and Europe.” Del Rey delivers the second volume of the delightful Love Roma.
I’ll be reviewing Go! Comi’s Cantarella in Monday’s Flipped. Sneak preview: I’m ordering the second volume of this bloody, juicy Renaissance soap opera. Cantarella’s creator, You Higuri, also has a title coming from Tokyopop’s Blu line of yaoi, Gorgeous Carat. Jewel thieves in turn-of-the-century Paris? Yes, please.
Viz’s Shojo Beat line offers the first collection of Yuu Watase’s Absolute Boyfriend, the manga version of Kamikaze Girls, and the second volume of Ai Yazawa’s Nana.
