The party’s over…

Hey all! I’m back from NYCC/NYAF, and it was a wonderful weekend—manga seemed to be a bigger presence in this show, and everyone is finally jumping on board the digital bus. Well, almost everyone. I was covering the con exclusively for MTV Geek, so head over there for the manga news, and I’ll have a roundup here later today or sometime tomorrow. In the meantime, here’s some of what has been going on while I was otherwise occupied.

Lissa Pattillo lists her picks from this week’s new releases in her latest On the Shelf column at Otaku USA.

Lori Henderson has the list of the past week’s all-ages comics and manga at Good Comics for Kids.

AstroNerdBoy comments on Tokyopop’s latest flicker of life.

Connie lists her favorite medical manga at Slightly Biased Manga.

Animate USA announces their latest round of yaoi for the Kindle.

News from Japan: Six men have been arrested for uploading anime, games, and manga, including One Piece, to the internet. Their explanation: “We want to spread our favorite manga.” ANN has the manga lineup for Monthly Hero’s, a new magazine from Shogakukan that will be available only in 7-11 stores. Here comes another 4-koma manga from Houbunsha: Tae Sano’s Mura Doll, launching in Manga Time Family this week. Monthly Comic Ryū is making a comeback in March, not December as previously announced. And Gakuen Prince creator Jun Yuzuki has started a new series, Rose & Wolf, which is running in Kodansha’s Bessatsu Friend.
