The Manga Bookshelf bloggers discuss their picks of the week, and there’s lots of love for Kodansha. Also, David Welsh makes his picks from this week’s new releases.
Those teases at JManga added 12 new titles to the site, including Junjo Romantica and Trinity Blood, but they aren’t available to read online—hopefully that will change soon.
David Welsh, the Manga Curmudgeon, starts a new alphabet of his favorite manga.
