This week 18 manga titles are expected to be released according to the list published by PREVIEWSworld.com. Viz Media releases 5 titles, Seven Seas 4 titles, Kodansha USA 4 titles, Digital Manga 3 titles, Dark Horse 1 title and Yen Press 1 title. When I was comparing the list against the online stores and the sites of the publishers, there were a lot of mismatches, some things were already released and some others were delayed, but let’s take this as a rough guide of what’s coming this week. This is the complete list:
