Otomen, Daily Lives of High School Boys to end

Lissa Pattillo looks at this week’s new releases in her latest On the Shelf column at Otaku USA. Sean Gaffney peers into his crystal ball to select the best of next week’s new releases.

Lori Henderson is pleased to note that several of her license requests have been granted.

In honor of the Shojo Beat themed Manga Moveable Feast, Ash Brown is giving away a copy of vol. 1 of Ai Ore! at Experiments in Manga.

News from Japan: The series Daily Lives of High School Boys has come to a sudden end; the last chapter was posted on Square Enix’s Gangan Online site this week, although there were none of the usual indications that it was drawing to a close. We do have warning of this: Otomen will end in the January issue of Bessatsu Hana to Yume. And ANN has the latest Japanese comics rankings.
