Manga Reviews for Everyone
While we here at Manga Village love all the new manga coming out each week, there’s over 20 years of manga releases that we love and want to recommend too! So, in each column, we will look at a genre, or creator, or even publisher to come up with the best titles that we want to recommend to you!...
In the week before San Diego Comic Con, the list is smaller, but there are still some great books coming out.

Iku Kasahara has dreamed of joining the Library Forces ever since one of its members saved her book from a MBC raid when she was in high school. A new recruit in the Library Forces now, Iku is training hard to become a full-fledged member, but is finding that not everyone is like her Prince.

It’s like a flashback to the good old days! Lots of publishers with a wide variety of books!

Tokyopop gets its last hurrah this week as some last few titles that must have already been at the printer come out. Though if you didn’t pre-order them through Diamond, getting them might be a problem, as most online sites don’t show them available. But keep your eyes peeled! Kodansha releases something old and something new, while Viz releases something borrowed from CMX in the form of an uncut Tenjo Tenge. Something blue? Still T...
Let’s face it – every single person reading this review right now has seen a sitcom. These shows are a pervasive part of TV culture in the United States, and the reason that they do well is because they are very easy to relate to. But sitcoms come and go. There are only a few names that stick out when I think about sitcoms, because the shows are a dime a dozen. Sitcom pitches happen each season, and only a few manage to make...
By all appearances, Soichi Negishi is a sweet, well-mannered boy who loves Swedish pop music, trendy boutiques, and all things fashionable. But at the same time he’s also Krauser II, front man for Detroit Metal City, an indie death metal band whose popularity increases by the day. Once the DMC makeup goes on and Soichi takes the stage, his natural talents as a death metal god can’t help but flourish. Is this the band he̵...
