Finally!

Cover

In stores this month, after an excrutiatingly long wait! I'm totally unspoiled on this one; I have no idea what's going to happen. I hope we get to check in with Kougaiji and crew for a bit, though I'm so happy to have a new volume that I'll cope if my favorite youkai prince doesn't get a panel or two.

November Zero Sum

Cover

Looks like there was finally a new Saiyuki chapter, which must mean Minekura has recovered from her hospital stay and operation, and is back to life as usual. Good for her (and for us fans!)

Gaiden Volume #3

I keep forgetting to add this news, so by now probably everyone knows it. Anyway, the third volume of Saiyuki Gaiden is out:

You can pick up a copy over at Akadot Retail.

News on Reload #8

Thanks to an email from Nancy Vancamp:

I spoke with an official at Tokyopop/Los Angeles division. They informed me that the reason why Vol. 8 was not released in the US was because of licensing issues they had to deal with. When the matter was resolved, they realized that the would not make the release date of August 2007. Vol. 8 is scheduled for release on June 2008! Yes, that is correct!

Ugh. Almost an entire year away! It must have been some licensing issue. Anyway, thanks to Nancy for the update!

A New Layout

The last one had a good run, but time for something new and a little different. Now that all the anime series have been released — though hoping we see the Burial OVA over here! — and TOKYOPOP all but caught up to the Japanese releases of Reload, I decided it was time to retire the sidebar.

I'll try to remember to post news here, such as TOKYOPOP licensing Gaiden (I wish!), Geneon picking up the latest OVA, or Minekura releasing a new art book.

I also need to add a few more 75x50 codes, since they seem to be popular.
