Jack and I were busy this weekend, and here are the first fruits. The audio of the Vertical panel and our chat with Del Rey’s Ali Kokmen are up at the MangaCast site. The Vertical panel focused on two upcoming titles, Ode to Kirihito and To Terra, then wandered off into their sudoku titles and novels. Ali talked to us about Del Rey’s newest license, Le Chevalier D’Eon, and chatted about their other upcoming books, Mushishi, Parasyte, and Mamotte! Lollipop.
Meanwhile, Love Manga has new title announcements and cover scans for Drama Queen, Kitty Media, and Del Rey.
