What shall we read this week?

I’m looking at this week’s new releases, including a new volume of Fairy Tail and a new shoujo title from Viz, The Earl and the Fairy, at MTV Geek. At A Case Suitable for Treatment, Sean Gaffney peers ahead to next week’s new manga.

Deb Aoki invites you to vote for the best new Action/Drama manga in the latest round of 2012 Readers’ Choice Awards at About.com.

News from Japan: Nico Nico Manga will run the six-part game-based manga Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition online for free. The game becomes available later this month. Two manga adaptations of novels by Yūsuke Kishi are in the works.
