The Picks:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Connie\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> There\u2019s a lot of good stuff from Yen Press this week (I\u2019m a big fan of Goong<\/em>, myself, and the newest volume is still ridiculously soapy and addictive), but my choice this week can only be the final volume of Detroit Metal City<\/strong>. \u00a0It\u2019s definitely not for everyone, and the series begins to get repetitive just before the end, but the last volume is a triumphant finale for the series, one final crazy concert for Krauser, and it is fantastic.<\/p>\n

Justin\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> This is a solid Yen Press week, with 3+ fantastic titles on that list. I\u2019m picking up Bunny Drop<\/strong>, because it\u2019s great: complex, funny, bittersweet – and because I want retailers to know that there is an audience for great manga like this!<\/p>\n

Alex\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> I have two picks this week. One, like Justin mentioned, is the fantastic Bunny Drop<\/strong>, which is a really cute little josei piece. I have heard things change dramatically soon, so we\u2019ll see how this works out in future volumes. I also need to have Twin Spica<\/strong>, which is an absolutely fabulous series. If you aren\u2019t reading this one, you need to be.<\/p>\n

John\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Twin Spica<\/strong> is the winner for me this week. This is a great space camp and beyond series that can be enjoyed by pretty much all ages.<\/p>\n

Amy\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> I love Bunny Drop<\/strong> so I\u2019m happy to see the fourth volume being released this week. I really enjoy seeing Rin opening up more to those around her but am anxious to see what the upcoming developments will entail.<\/p>\n

Lori\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> I agree with everyone that Bunny Drop<\/em>, Twin Spica<\/em> and Goong<\/em> are all great titles. I want to point out another Yen Press title that was sadly ended suddenly. With the Light<\/strong> has been a heart-warming series which ended with the tragic death of it creator Keiko Tobe. The final volume comes out this week, which includes not just complete chapters, but also rough drafts she was working on while fighting her illness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
