Can anyone tell me the big deal with Azamunga Dioh? From the trailer I've seen it looks like one of those very silly mangas with no real focus on storyline.

 

in california some of those already came out a week and a half ago.

 

Damn, that kinda sucks. Only thing I have to look forward to is Trigun, it seems. Trying to find something out about the Angel Sanctuary from Viz's site, but I'm not having any luck. Hellsing number four doesn't bloody come out until September. This sucks.

 

I heard that a copy of peachgirl to gome out this august. It isnt listed here- but does anyone know if it is planning when to come out?

 

Actually In my Newtype Magazine it says Hellsing Vol. 4 comes out this August.
Sorry I didn't put it up there.
I will now.

LUCKY!!!
None of them have come out in Indiana.

Whoopsy Daisies.
My bad.

 

I've noticed that even if you look at the release schedule listed in magazines like Newtype there just isn't a reliable listing. Sometimes companies will say "volume X of series A will be released on such and such a date," but the actual release happens a month later due to "technical difficulties."

There are also plenty of stores that will break street date by a few days (or more). But this only happens with some series, and only some of the time. So there isn't even consistency in that.

Then there are series like Hana-Kimi, where the release schedule isn't posted anywhere (believe me, I've checked). The Viz site doesn't even have a section for it yet. And the first volume? They said it would be released in February. Yeah, April looks a lot like February.

*sigh* Sometimes I wish the manga translation companies were more like American comicbook companies. Then you'd have release schedules right on the website....

dn angel volume 3 came out like a month ago, im happy that i live in california

 

lucky!!! makes me wish I lived in California.

Who licensed The Prince of Tennis ? It sounds interesting and I want to check it out.

 

Lets not forget about:

Demon Seed
Cyria Cross
One Shot
Never End
and
TCan

all coming out sometime in late August, although of course delays may push it into September, but thats very doubtful. You can see the One Shot and Cyria Cross manga preview by clicking on the links.

Oh yeah, these are all coming out in Kitsune Monthly Manga Magazine.
