This Week’s Manga: Wanna Catch Up!

September 10, 2014

This Week's Manga

It’s a slow release week this week, so it’s all about the titles I want to catch up on, but other shinies keep distracting me! Kodansha has picked up the pace lately by adding many titles I want to read. I’ve read the first volume of Sherlock Bones and did enjoy it, but 2-4 have been languishing on the shelf waiting for me to pick them up. With the release of volume 7, the final volume, I may as well just wait and read the whole rest of the series in one go! Seven Deadly Sins vol 4 comes out this week, adding to another growing stack of unread shonen. I have a lot of those I keep meaning to wheedle down, but then things like new Attack on Titan volumes come out and I’m off after the shiny things again.

Viz Media is my usual point and click into a virtual basket, but this week there is only one title that I am of course woefully behind on. 07-Ghost vol 12 comes out this week, bringing the series only 5 volumes from finishing, and me 7 volumes behind. At least it has an end in sight and I unlike so many shonen titles.

Dark Horse Comics occasionally grabs my attention, and their score of CLAMP manga is one of the ways they’ve done it. Legal Drug Omnibus collects the three volumes published before it was put on hiatus. The series returned in 2011 as Drug and Drop, which will drop in 2015, that appears to be ongoing, but with CLAMP, who knows. I was put off by the title when it first came out, but I’ve since learned to appreciate CLAMP and their works, and am interested in reading this series, especially with just one volume to lug around. Unless it also gets a digital release.
