Heading back to school, thinking about NYAF

Posted on September 21, 2011 by Brigid Alverson

I posted my picks from this week’s new manga releases at MTV Geek, and Lissa Pattillo has the full list in her latest On the Shelf column at Otaku USA. David Welsh posts his choices at The Manga Curmudgeon.

The Manga Village bloggers celebrate September with some recommendations for manga set in schools.

Sean Gaffney posts his plans for New York Anime Fest, which is coming up in mid-October. I’ll be there too, probably following a schedule similar to Sean’s.

Attention publishers: Alex Hoffman requests that someone rescue The Stellar Six of Gingacho.
