Always good to have more Lupin content available, especially the manga. Too bad it's not coming out until almost a year for now.

There are no words to describe my disappointment. I've been putting Lupin III down in their surveys since they started, and for a little moment during the event I thought that wow, it's actually happening. And then it's just a best of collection of random stories. I'd honestly much rather get a completely different classic title that can be released in its entirety as a single hard-cover, like some Go Nagai title, than this.

"collection of stories" probably so they can avoid the weird offensive mean spirited stuff (aka the best stuff)

Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu (The Dangers in My Heart) is a great manga. Glad it got licenced.

I like good romcom manga a lot, and Sakurai Norio's Boku no kokoro no yabai yatsu is excellent; the two leads are adorable. Boku no tsuma ha kanjo ga nai (My Wife Has No Emotion) is also quite good, but I imagine the male protagonist could creep some readers out.

Will possibly pick up the Lupin III collection. I tried out a couple volumes of the series way back when Tokyopop released it, but dropped it pretty quickly; it was interesting, but not enough for me to continue with it. A best-of collection sounds like it'd be more my speed.

Also eyeing Kageki Shojo!!, but I have to read its predecessor series first (it should be here next week).

The Lupin collection, assuming it's the same one in the picture, is the 2019 "masterpiece" collection published a few months after Monkey Punch's death. It's a selection of strips from both Lupin and Shin Lupin.

The Amazon reviews indicate it has better reproduction than the smaller paperback editions that muddied pages that were originally in colour.

There appears to be only one other volume in this format though, which was a 2017 collection of "unseen" Monkey Punch Lupin material not in the Lupin & Shin Lupin paperbacks.

I'm interested in Umibe no Étranger... The movie still hasn't been licensed, has it? I'll definitely buy the BIY anthology, curious who's in it though. I'm interested in reading Pompo too.

I was hoping Seven Seas would license the Kageki Shojo main series, really excited for that one! I'll definitely look into Umibe no Étranger and Pompo as well.

Lupin the 3rd also kind of interests me, hopefully they can release the series from the beginning if it does well enough. Also, more classic shoujo manga would be greatly appreciated! (pretty please..??)
