Thanks to David at Love Manga for pointing out the new VIZ website. It is a vast improvement over the previous site in one respect: It is searchable. However, the designers have retained one feature that drives me crazy—instead of providing an alphabetical list of manga titles, they persist in classifying them, on the off chance that I’ll know that Ultra Maniac falls under “Shojo Beat” and not “Shoujo,” or that I’ll understand the difference between “SHONEN JUMP” and “SHONEN JUMP ADVANCED.” (CAPS theirs. Hey, guys, stop shouting.) All this just makes it harder to find a book, which means it’s a lot of work for nothing.
But at least I don’t have to exit the site and go to Google to find a title any more.
