Pick of the Week: Software Engineers, Actresses, and Mushi
MICHELLE: One week, it’s a new volume of Real that wasn’t on my radar, and the next it’s a new volume of Skip Beat!, a perennial favorite and my official pick this week. (That said, I’m looking forward to Cupid Is Struck by Lightning, too.) SEAN: I’m going to go with Fired? But I Maintain All the Software!, if only as this sort of genre (teaching overstressed office workers to do things that make…
Manga the Week of 11/5/25
SEAN: Let’s November it up! US folks, please vote in your local elections. ASH: I don’t think I’m ready for November. SEAN: Yen Press has a debut next week. Magical Midlifer (Mahou Chuunen) is a seinen title from Young Animal. When things get too difficult for the average magical girl, only middle-aged middle-managers can save them. MICHELLE: I am suddenly reminded of the Middle-Aged Man sketch…
Pick of the Week: 4 Real
SEAN: I mean, Real. Duh. MICHELLE: Yep. I even hauled all of the other volumes out for a reread. ANNA: No question! KATE: I think it’s unanimous! MICHELLE: Unambiguously! ASH: Let’s keep it Real.
Manga the Week of 10/29/25
SEAN: You may now Halloween the week away however you want, including manga, spooky and otherwise. ASH: Sounds like a plan! SEAN: Airship has the print debut of Virgin Knight: I Became the Frontier Lord in a World Ruled by Women (Teisou Gyakuten Sekai no Doutei Henkyou Ryoushu Kishi), which features a world where sexual norms between men and women are reversed, and women are dominant! Into this…
Pick of the Week: Nana Deku?
SEAN: It’s the end of My Hero Academia, so of course that’s my pick this week, even though I know that the final chapter, exclusive to the volume, will no doubt reignite appalling ship wars. MICHELLE: I’m with Sean. I’m not as enamored of this series as I once was, but I still would like to finish it, so I shall soon be embarking upon a marathon. KATE: NANA! There’s a whole generation of readers…

The B-Rank Adventurer with a Scary Face Becomes a Father for the Hero and His Friends, Vol. 1 | By Cogeme and Enji – Is the trope of being transported into a video game world critical to The B-Rank Adventurer with a Scary Face Becomes a Father for the Hero and His Friends? Arguably, no. However, the flashes of his former life do explain why Gray has chosen to lead his current one as he has.…
Pick of the Week: Metal and Food
SEAN: It’s always hard to get anything new out of the isekai premise, so I will give Isekai Metaller a lot of credit and make it my pick this week. (Also, Judas Priest > Iron Maiden.) MICHELLE: I’m not super excited by anything, really, but Sensei’s Mail-Order Food looks potentially cute, so I will go with that, this week. ASH: I’m vaguely curious about Isekai Metaller, but I’m actually really…
Manga the Week of 10/15/25
SEAN: Slowly Halloween creeps closer. Can you feel its hand on your shoulder? ASH: Not yet! Please, we can’t possibly be that far into October yet! SEAN: Viz Media debuts Phantom Busters, a Jump Square title about an honor student and skeptic who meets a boy who eats ghosts! Given everything else the author has written, this is shonen for BL fans but with no actual BL, I’m gonna guess. ANNA:…

Pick of the Week: Everyone Has Choices
MICHELLE: I’ve been looking forward to Our Dining Table: Seconds, Please! since I learned it had been licensed, so that is absolutely my pick this week! SEAN: The author and I have had mixed success to say the least, but I will give them another shot, and make my pick this week The Lying Bride and the Same-Sex Marriage Debate. ASH: I’m definitely interested in both of those titles, but the…
Manga the Week of 10/8/25
SEAN: It’s now fully October, which means you should expect pictures of skeletons in place of manga. ASH: There was a streak of skeleton manga there for a bit. SEAN: Airship starts us off, with print volumes of Adachi and Shimamura 12, Classroom of the Elite: Year 2 12, and A Tale of the Secret Saint ZERO 3. And digitally they have Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear 21. Dark Horse Comics have a 15th volume of…
Pick of the Week: Baki and Takahashi
ASH: The last few years have been somewhat astonishing with the number of seemingly unlicensable manga being licensed. Baki the Grappler is one of the most recent… although I guess it’s technically a license rescue? Either way, I’m eager to give this series of absolute martial arts mayhem a try. SEAN: I don’t know where I’ll find the room for another big artbook, but The Art of Rumiko Takahashi:…
Manga the Week of 10/1/25
SEAN: Is it September? Or October? Who can say? ASH: There’s what I believe to be true and what I know to be true. Unfortunately, they’re not always in agreement. SEAN: Yen Press has a 12th volume of Final Fantasy: Lost Stranger and the 2nd volume of Kindergarten Wars. Viz Media gives us The Art of Rumiko Takahashi: Colors 1978–2024, a 400-page hardcover artbook devoted to her entire career,…
Pick of the Week: Mi Casa Es Tsukasa
MICHELLE: I struggle to decide between the two Tsukasa Hojo debuts, but a trio of sisters in unitards (with scarves for unnecessary belts) is really serving up ’80s nostalgia for me, so Cat’s Eye it is! SEAN: I am very familiar with the City Hunter manga, as I got the original Japanese volumes years ago so I could look at the art and wonder what they were saying. As such, I too will pick <i<Cat's…
Manga the Week of 9/24/25
SEAN: Come on over, baby, whole lotta manga goin’ on. ASH: My word! SEAN: Airship has print volumes of The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen 9 and She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man 14. And for early digital we see Heroine? Saint? No, I’m an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It)! 4 and the 5th and final volume of The Mimosa Confessions. Dark Horse Comics debut Dur-an-ki, a title “supervised” by…
Manga the Week of 9/17/25
SEAN: It’s Earth Wind & Fire Week, sort of. Let’s see what manga we have coming. Yen On has three light novels: The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy 12, Hollow Regalia 6, and Spy Classroom Short Story Collection 4. While Yen Press just has Excellent Property, Rejects for Residents 4. No debuts for Viz, but we do get Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Manga – Book of Heartslabyul Complete Box…

The Fed-Up Office Lady Wants to Serve the Villainess, Vol. 1 | By Nekotarou | Seven Seas – I’ll be honest, these days when a yuri series is licensed I expect it to be a lot less subtle than this one. You might even think it was just pure shoujo. After getting laid off from her job, our protagonist is briefly depressed, before she is suddenly transported to the world of her favorite otome game.…
Pick of the Week: Tragic Twins, Death Gods, and Shogi
ASH: While there are multiple ongoing and debut manga being released this week that I’m interested in, there’s only one that I have on my “must read as soon as I get my hands on it” list and that’s Land. I only learned about it recently and I actually don’t know much about the plot, but the artwork that I’ve seen is beautifully evocative. SEAN: I think I’ll go with Bride of the Death God, which…
