[ 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 : Komi Can't Communicate Vol. 1
Story & Art : Tomohito Oda
Publisher : VIZ Media LLC
Synopsis :
The journey to 100 friends begins with a single conversation.
Socially anxious high school student Shoko Komi’s greatest dream is to make some friends, but everyone at school mistakes her crippling social anxiety for cool reserve! With the whole student body keeping their distance and Komi unable to utter a single word, friendship might be forever beyond her reach.
Timid Tadano is a total wallflower, and that’s just the way he likes it. But all that changes when he finds himself alone in a classroom on the first day of high school with the legendary Komi. He quickly realizes she isn’t aloof—she’s just super awkward. Now he’s made it his mission to help her on her quest to make 100 friends!
[ An interesting new debut, that promises to be a fun slice-of-life if nothing else. ]
Series : Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic Vol. 36
Story & Art : Shinobu Ohtaka
Publisher : VIZ Media LLC
Synopsis :
An epic dungeon-busting adventure inspired by One Thousand and One Nights!
Deep within the desert lie the mysterious Dungeons, vast stores of riches there for the taking by anyone lucky enough to find them and brave enough to venture into the depths from where few have ever returned. Plucky young adventurer Aladdin means to find the Dungeons and their riches, but Aladdin may be just as mysterious as the treasures he seeks.
Inside the Sacred Palace, Alibaba’s experience after death drives him to make Sinbad see reason, but the Great Flow is suddenly disturbed! Confusion and chaos descend on the earth’s surface, and friends become foes as Aladdin, Alibaba, Judar and Sinbad fight to reclaim their home...
[ I only read 1 or 2 volumes of this series and found the setting to be original and unique. It is close to its end and probably now is the time to binge read this one. ]
Series : Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle Vol. 7
Story & Art : Kagiji Kumanomata
Publisher : VIZ Media LLC
Synopsis :
A captured princess just wants a good night’s sleep! Shhh…
Kidnapped by the Demon King and imprisoned in his castle, Princess Syalis is…bored.
Princess Syalis manages to mess up Christmas and Valentine’s Day…again. Then, when Syalis and her demon captors pay a visit to her kingdom of Goodereste, a demon stands in for the princess…and winds up needing to be kidnapped herself! A common enemy forces Syalis and her archnemesis Poseidon to team up. And Syalis messes up more things, including a Demon Castle hot-pot party and a Demon King educational biopic. But she still manages to find some good opportunities for relaxing naps…
[ Another one I am not actually sure about, but the obvious lack of quality stuff this week prompts me to check this one out. ]
