Just a few little notes today as I catch up on my manga reviews.
As various sources are stating, Yen Press has picked up the The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya manga. The novels were also licensed, by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, and will be released as a joint venture with Yen.
I was going through Tokyopop’s release list of the next couple of months. I’m happy to see their simple but suiting cover work for Nanae Chrono’s Vassalord and, after some brief mention by the artist team KOSEN, Tokyopop has finally posted the cover and plot synopsis to their upcoming series, Daemonium (pictured at the top).
And though old news, I was rereading some older mangas today and really enjoyed the long-time-coming revisit to Mitsuru Adachi’s Short Program story compilations. It’s original English run was in the now gone, Animeria Extra, and the stories were released in graphic novel form by Viz soon after. I don’t intend to write a full review on it but I’ll atleast say they’re a great collection of stories: sweet, humorous and the perfect length. If you can find yourself a copy, I recommend it.
Edit: One more thing I forgot, Tricia over at the DelRey Manga Blog has posted information regarding their upcoming X-men manga projects. They have up a written description of their rendition of the character, Kitty Pryde, and say that those who attend their New York Comic Con panel can expect to see the final character designs. They’ll also be live-blogging the events of NYCC.
