Promising Manga & Light Novels This Week - JUNE 25, 2019

[ 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 : Fire Force Vol. 16
Story & Art : Atsushi Ohkubo
Publisher : Kodansha Comics

Synopsis :
A new action fantasy set in a steampunk Tokyo from the creator of the smash hit Soul Eater!
THE GRAY OF HAIJIMA
Now that Company 8 has learned that Haijima Industries is using children in an attempt to spark an Adolla Burst, Shinra is eager to put a stop to their heinous practices. To infiltrate their facilities, he agrees to let them study his own powers, and now he must face one of the ghosts of his childhood--the evil Kurono, a twisted pyrokinetic with enough power to rival the toughest soldier on the Fire Force.

[ I am quite interested in this series, so much that I have bought the physical copies of the first three volumes. ]


Series : Hinamatsuri Vol. 3
Story & Art : Masao Ohtake
Publisher : One Peace Books

Synopsis :
The Doll Festival, or Hinamatsuri, is a celebration held in hopes that young girls grow up healthy and happy. Fortunately, as the bizarre world of Hinamatsuri continues to unfold, our beloved characters are all doing just that: audacious-little-psychokinetic Hina, brave-homeless-girl Anzu, and talented-junior-high-schooler Hitomi. This volume joins the celebration with two all-new extra chapters you won’t want to miss!

[ A comedy manga with an interesting concept, should be good. ]


Series : To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts Vol. 8
Story & Art : Maybe
Publisher : Vertical Comics

Synopsis :
From the editors behind Attack on Titan and Flowers of Evil comes a new action fantasy title that combines western mythology and supernatural beings with imagery of the American Wild West.
Schaal passes out after she hears the Voice of God at the Incarnate research facility École. Hank stays at her bedside until she wakes up.
There was once another woman who similarly heard the Voice of God—the genius who created the Incarnates, Elaine. When Schaal asks Hank about his relationship with Elaine, Hank resolves to tell her the truth, and the story shifts into his past with Elaine...

[ I am not quite sure why I am interested in this one, it's just one of those that draws my attention somehow. ]


Series : Witch Hat Atelier Vol. 2
Story & Art : Kamome Shirahama
Publisher : Kodansha Comics

Synopsis :
A beautifully-illustrated story about a girl who longs for magic in her life and learns that, on the inside, she already is what she wishes she could be. Reminiscent of Studio Ghibli, this lushly-drawn story was voted one of the top 10 manga of the year in 2018 by the Japanese manga industry.
TRIAL BY FIRE
Join Coco as she continues her spellbinding journey of magic and discovery!
After traveling to the mystical township of Kalhn with her new master to buy a casting wand, a strange, masked witch transports Coco and her three sister apprentices to an eerily quiet city. But they soon find out that they're not alone, and they encounter a ferocious dragon! Do these fledgling witches have what it takes to defeat the fire-breathing beast, or will their plans and lives go up in flames?!

[ This should be very good. An interesting setting and gorgeous looking drawing. I really need to read this now. ]
