Special undead edition: New Kurosagi and Twilight on the way

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Brigid Alverson

Good news for fans of Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service: Dark Horse will have a new volume next month, the first since September 2010. Crunchyroll has the details and an exclusive preview.

On the other hand, John Jakala is wondering why Viz has released so few digital volumes of non-Shonen Jump manga lately.

Sakura Con is looking amazingly good this year; ANN has the guest lineup, which includes Kodansha editor Katsushi Ota, Toradora! artist Zekkyō, and Full Metal Panic artist Retsu Tateo.

These things are never guaranteed, but ANN has spotted a listing for a graphic adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s New Moon, presumably a followup to the Twilight graphic novels published by Yen Press.

    YESYESYES omg Dark Horse pushed back the release of Kurosagi back so long I thought it would be just plain cancelled! I am SO EXCITED! ^.^ I’m such a huge fan. I can’t wait.

    Heck ya! My patience has paid off. I tried reading MPD Psycho to fill the void waiting for Kurosagi left open…but I’m just not as fond of that series.
