It’s a subdued selection of titles this week. While most publishers have something coming out, there are only a few titles for each. Kodansha starts out on top with a title I’m seriously interested in. Fairy Girls is a spin-off manga from the series Fairy Tail, and features, you guessed it, the girls from Fairy Tail! The series is by another manga artist, Boku, but remains consistent with the main series. The women wizards of Fairy Tail are great, so it’s awesome that they get their book to kick butt in!

Viz and it’s imprints are busy. SuBLime, their BL imprint has a new release, as well as the main line with their Shonen Sunday titles including the latest Tiger and Bunny Volume 8. I really liked the first two volumes, but wish they were available digitally. Rumiko Takahashi fans get a double dose of R’s as both Ranma 1/2 2-in-1 and Rinne have new volumes out.

The digital Viz Select line has a few new titles including the first chapter of Platinum End by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, the creators of Bakuman and Death Note. Zyword is a single volume title that was first published by Tokyopop and is by a former member of CLAMP, Tamayo Akiyama. So you know the art will be good. The story, maybe not so much. But at $2.99, it couldnt’ hurt to look.
