Livingstone!
Yes! I saw some scans for it awhile back (2010 or so). Really interesting concept and nice artwork. |

I'm excited to see Livingstone in print. I saw a bit of it years back 'cause I love the look of Deadman Wonderland and was thrilled to see another series under the artists that was longer than a oneshot or doujinshi.
I'll withhold my feelings on the AoT info. guide until it hits shelves. It could be great, but I've yet to be blown away by any books of that type. So fingers crossed. |

Ugh, I always miss their events! Would it be possible for ANN to report on upcoming manga events like this?
In any case, interesting mix of licenses. Seems they'll publish anything Titan related. |

A correction: Junko, the creator of Kiss Him, Not Me! is not the artist of My Love Story!! (that would be Aruko.)

Tempted to get Kiss Him, Not Me as it seems like an amusing concept. & if I end up getting Maria the Virgin Witch, I'll see if I like it enough to pick up the sequel.

After reading the article I have to say this title really interests me as well. The story sounds interesting. Have to keep my eye out for this. |

I sampled a couple chapters of "Kiss Him, Not Me" on Crunchyroll (don't like to read too far ahead though since it spoils the fun of getting the book later on.) It's pretty ridiculous, stupid-funny. Almost Ai Morinaga absurd at times, but less mean-spirited. I'll probably be picking it up...

I wonder how well a title like "Maria the Virgin Witch" will go for this company.

The first volume comes out while the anime is airing so should do decently. Hopefully it will do well for them but if not, the series & the sequel are only 4 volumes together so it shouldn't be too much of a problem unless it is a complete flop. (& I'd guess pre-order numbers are at least average if they took the plunge with the sequel?) |

Amazon has MtVW listed as being scheduled for late next month. With only 4 volumes total, they can get them all released this year. Unless you are releasing multiple vol. at once or have a short series, releasing an entire manga series here in under a year is uncommon I think.

They said they're releasing the sequel/4th/final volume in August when they announced it so hopefully it will still have some sort of anime boost going at the point.

Stoked to see some new Iou Kuroda, even though this isn't quite the series I would've wanted to see. Didn't know he made this. Hope it's worth checking out.

though i was kinda hoping it was fairy tail zero since its about mavis and probably how she's died and her spirit ended up being bound to sirius island. though blue mistral, its definitely might not bode well here if its released in the US since its just like illya was for fate/kaleid and sasami is for pretty sammy and nunally is for nunally in wonderland this spinoff is just another magical girl trap to use the youngest character to milk money from the franchise since the original is near its end. and to be frank, wendy definitely isnt the most popular female character in the series. |

Hmm, I'm interested in Fairy Girls...only because I'm a fan of Juvia. No idea if she really has a big role in it, may have a look at online discussions.
Also, I had no idea that Maria the Virgin Witch was only 3 volumes, and had never heard about this 1 volume sequel. Will be buying the series from Kodansha...since it is a short one. 
Another series I'll be buying is Kiss Him, Not me. I've seen a lot of pages on my Twitter TL, as I follow someone who is a massive fan of the manga. And, from what I've seen over time, a lot of it has made me laugh. Time to check it out for myself. |
