Friday quick links

Here’s my con report on last week’s Anime Boston.

Digital Manga announced three new BL titles in its Fanime panel this past weekend: Apple and Honey (Ringo ni Hachimitsu) and Apple and Honey: His Rose Colored Life (Kare no Barairo no Jinsei) manga, by Hideyoshico, and Natsuki Zippo’s Wolf Magic (Ōkami wa Mahō o). All three titles will be released in print; Digital has resumed print publication, and in fact some of their books are ahead of schedule.

Connie C. looks at the Viz Spectrum editions, an early manga format from the early 90s.

News from Japan: Nobuhiro Watsuki is bringing Rurouni Kenshin: Restoration to a close on Tuesday. The Jump Square series Binbō-gami ga! will be winding up in July.

Reviews: Ash Brown posts another episode of My Week in Manga at Experiments in Manga.
