New releases in the store and on the web

Posted on September 12, 2012 by Brigid Alverson

Lissa Pattillo looks at this week’s new releases in her latest On the Shelf column at Otaku USA.

Good news for fans of Viz’s more mature series: They have put nine mature-rated series, including Nana, Tenjho Tenge, and Dorohedoro, on their Vizmanga.com website at the standard price of $4.99 per volume.

At Manga Therapy, Tony Yao has resolved to read more shoujo manga, and the readers offer some suggestions.

Three Steps Over Japan hits the magazine rack to check out Dragon Age, Comic Blade, Monthly Rival, and Newtype and Dragon.

Reviews: Three Steps Over Japan takes a look at A Fish Crawls on Land, by Hideo Azuma, the creator of Disappearance Diary.

    Might have wanted to wait until noon to post news because Right Stuf/Nozomi is totally releasing the Rose of Versailles anime in North America! I hope this gives hope for the manga eventually coming here too, but in the meantime WOOT!
