Not only is that kind of a lot of Marvel titles all things considered, but it's interesting how excited Disney seems to be about Mirrorverse. Not what I expected to see at all.

Also, Candy Flurry still deserves better.

How are they keeping PPPPPP digital exclusive but axed series with far less sales like Red Hood and Ayashimon get physical releases? Man, and I was looking forward to it finally getting released too

At least Akane-banashi is confirmed, but that was pretty much a given at this point

Akane-banashi is an easy pickup for me, as is the new edition of Cat Eyed Boy. Maybe Like a Butterfly as well, but for suu Morishita, I have to be in just the right mood for it.

The simple answer is both Red Hood and Ayashimon had a bigger readership in the US - something Viz is going to know pretty well since they simulpublished all 3 titles.

Man, I haven't thought about Wolf Girl & Black Prince in ages. Hope people read it as a satire to shoujo and not #relationshipgoals because... yeah.

Lot of interesting titles here!

Chainsaw Man side-stories! And another Fujimoto winner!

A manga exploring gender dysphoria and sexual harassment!

Girl meets robot boy!

A lot of Marvel stuff! Including Spider-Man: Fake Red! And a Wolverine manga!

a new Suu Morishita manga! But wait, I thought A Sign of Affection is their latest series? Where does this one fit in?

Disney Mirrorverse manga!

Wolf Girl and Black Prince! The authors' newest manga is currently being released (and they even had a backup with the leads of the former series) so that makes a lot of sense.

Great to see Akane is already going to print.

I imagine knowing how much content there is also helps in determining if it's worth doing a run. Considering sales tend to go down each volume, knowing that you can just put out 3 volumes and finish it there can't hurt.

Heart Gear got picked up by VIZ for a physical release! Heck yeah! I remember checking this out on MangaPlus and loving it. I'm so happy that Tsuyoshi Takaki is being given another chance (I adored Black Torch, and was incredibly sad it got cut short) in the English market. Suffice to say, I'll be pre-ordering this the moment it pops up!

Looks like a good list of titles. But I think part article is wrong. It says on it's Saturday panel
It is really early on Saturday morning when I'm reading it so it might have been a Friday panel.[/quote]
