It's nice to see Red Hood get at least a little bit of the respect it deserved, it did a bit better than Candy Flurry or Zipman. Kinda random they're releasing The Comiq after all this time since they dropped it from the SJ app ages ago, but I guess it's nice to see it back in some form too.

Wow, I can't believe Rainbow Days has finally been licensed! That one's been on my wishlist for years.
Blue Box sounds promising, as does Romantic Killer. Will be keeping an eye out for reviews of both of them in the fall.

Some good stuff here, but man, I was really hoping for an Oshi no Ko license.

I've always been wondering, how's Mission: Yozakura Family faring in the west? I know it's not a hit series, but for me, it's kinda like soul food on the current WSJ.
Blue Box is really good though. I can't remember the last time Jump had a good romance series that leaned more on drama.

So Red Hood get's a physical release while Magu-Chan still stuck on VIZ's digital jail? Digital only sucks and I feel like Magu-Chan will never get physical release outside Japan. Sad.

Wow, a lot of these look really good! Mermaid Scales and the Town of Sand has a gorgeous art style, so I'm definitely picking that up. Romantic Killer sounds like a lot of fun, and Rainbow Days seems cute as well, to name a few! To the folks at Viz, nice work! ^-^

I quite like Mission: Yozakura Family. It delivers solid and consistent chapters each time that, while I never feel particularly anxious or excited for the next one, are good enough that it never feels a chore to read. Not sure if I'll buy the series physically, but it's certainly one of those series that I feel grateful to have on Manga Plus, since I'm sure I would've never kept up with it otherwise.
Also, the Yoko Komori manga is a pleasant surprise. Mermaid Scales and the Town of Sand is a nice little two-volume series that doesn't overstay its welcome, so I'll probably pick it up when it comes out.

The usual suspects: physical releases in France (Kana), Spain (Norma) & Italy (J-POP). Also, the series is one of the few with translation in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Thai and Bahasa at Manga Plus. So... many readers known about it, but not a super-hit?
I do wonder where the Red Hood hype comes from, too. The author had good ideas, but he wasn't able to deliver and his final arc pales besides Magu-chan's in terms of how to tell and end an story. Oh, besides drawing what youngsters call "thicc" women.

I never thought I'd see the day that Rainbow Days finally gets licensed, especially since the manga and anime ended years ago. Will definitely buy all the volumes even though I already have the Japanese ones. I hope Koi wo Shiranai Bokutachi wa gets licensed too!

Oh, hmm, I’ve not kept up with Yozakura but that’s interesting to see. And I liked Red Hood enough that I might pick that up. Similarly, Blue Box has been great so far, I’ll definitely consider buying it physically.
I will absolutely second wanting a physical release of Magu-cham though. Absolutely was my favorite current Jump series and was so sad to see it end. I would really love to own that for future rereads.
