Kodansha releases the mother lode as 5 of their titles are all volumes I need in my collection. My Little Monster, Noragami, Seven Deadly Sins, Silent Voice and Yamada-Kun and the Seven Witches all have volumes out this week, but want makes this so hard is that there isn’t one I want more than the other. I want them all! Over on the digital side, Kodansha releases another round of the collections of their Crunchyroll titles, but I think their pricing is off. Looking at Viz Media and Yen Press, who are bringing out new titles as well as re-releasing older ones, Kodansha is nearly double. I would think it would be hard to justify $11 for an e-book vs a $5.99 subscription where I could read them all. I can see this backfiring on them.

Speaking of Viz and Yen, both publishers only have digital titles out this week, but they do have a good selection. Viz has caught up with the Tokyopop releases of Sgt Frog, so the volumes after this are pretty much new. They also have a new volume of Hanako and the Terror of Allegory and the Jmanga rescue Crazy For You.  Yen Press seems to get the digital pricing. All their first volumes so far have been $2.99 with subsequent volumes at $6.99. I’m more willing to give an unknown title a try at $2.99 than at $10.99. Sekirei is selling well already with it being a top seller in fantasy manga on Amazon. Servant x Service is the title I’m most interested in, with its combination of office ladies and cosplay.
