This is proving to be a slow week in manga. The normal heavy hitters, Viz Media and Yen Press, each have a book coming out this week, but while they’re Japanese in origin neither would qualify as manga. Even Vertical, which has been coming out with something new and great on almost a weekly basis lately, seems to be taking a break.
Digital Manga Publishing does have some new volumes in their June imprint, meaning that at the very least the yaoi fans will have something to keep them excited. Kodansha USA is only publishing two new volumes, including the new volume in the fantasy adventure Fairy Tail. This manga isn’t quite my favorite, but it’s fun, and while I’ve fallen behind by about half a dozen volumes, it’s something I’ll catch up on.
So, are you getting anything this week? Or will you just hold out for something better?
