[ This post is entirely based on the stuff that I find to be promising from the current week, not a best of or highlights of the week list. The rest of the stuff I didn't find interesting due to preferences based on my taste and so this is solely my view. ]
Series : Dr. Stone Vol. 6
Story : Riichiro Inagaki
Art : Boichi
Publisher : Viz Media LLC
Synopsis :
Imagine waking to a world where every last human has been mysteriously turned to stone...
One fateful day, all of humanity turned to stone. Many millennia later, Taiju frees himself from the petrification and finds himself surrounded by statues. The situation looks grim—until he runs into his science-loving friend Senku! Together they plan to restart civilization with the power of science!
Senku’s father, the astronaut Byakuya, returned to Earth shortly after humanity turned to stone. What did he leave behind for his son to discover thousands of years later?
In the meantime, Senku and the villagers have to contend with attackers from the Tsukasa Empire. The dire situation calls for drastic measures, so they start work on their strongest weapon yet...
[ A shounen with a lot of hype and an upcoming anime. Should be worth checking out. ]
Series : I Am a Hero Omnibus Vol. 10
Story & Art : Kengo Hanazawa
Publisher : Dark Horse Manga
Synopsis :
Revelations, new mutations, and new motivations abound in this penultimate collection!
An odd observer in Barcelona pieces together the puzzle of the ZQN infestation before creator Kengo Hanazawa takes readers back to Japan and our remaining human survivors. Hideo and Hiromi discover something else that connects the two of them, as they head to Tokyo with a new ally. Murderous groups of human survivors are forced to band together, and the ZQN virus continues to evolve in massive ways. Go way further and get way stranger than the I Am a Hero film adaptation!
Collects I Am a Hero original Japanese volumes 19 and 20.
[ A zombie apocalypse manga that I have been interested for a long time coming closer to its end. High time to read it, I guess. ]
Series : Platinum End Vol. 9
Story : Tsugumi Ohba
Art : Takeshi Obata
Publisher : Viz Media LLC
Synopsis :
With Kanade Uryu now dead, Mirai and Saki are able to rest for the first time in a while and mourn the death of their partner, Mukaido. But then a new god candidate appears on television and begins revealing all of their secrets. Is this the start of a new battle, or is there a peaceful way out of their plight?
[ I got the physical copy of the first volume. A series from the creators of 'Death Note' and 'Bakuman', need I say more? ]
Series : Full Metal Panic! Vol. 2
Story : Shouji Gatou
Art : Shikidouji
Publisher : J-Novel Club
Synopsis :
Popular, very pretty, and telepathic teenager Kaname is off on her school outing to Okinawa with her schoolmates. As they say, vacations never go according to plan, and when terrorists hijack their plane, they find themselves held as hostages in North Korea. A deadly terrorist organization has been tracking Kaname carefully, wanting to study her gift of "the Whispered," her telepathic skill, and they are willing to sacrifice everyone on the plane to capture her. Unfortunately for the terrorists, Sosuke Sagara, agent of the hyper-secret government commando agency, "Mithril," is undercover as one of the students. Mission: protect Kaname without her knowledge.
[ I liked the first volume of this series a lot more than I expected. New translation of an old school legendary light novel by J-Novel Club, I will read this as soon as I get my hands on it. ]
