it can\’t all be about manga…

not yet published (in more ways than one)

Well, the problem with page loading still hasn’t been corrected.  I guess I’ll post what I have here for now and hopefully be able to move it to the other page later.  This list is mostly manga right now.  There are a few dvd releases and forthcoming novels but I’ll be adding more as I come across stuff.  One thing I discovered about the publishers sites is that they seem to be unwilling to commit to release dates more than a volume or two ahead.  Most of the dates for June and beyond are from Amazon. 

(update: my internet connection went down last night as I was editing this.  apologies for the formatting errors – wordpress doesn’t seem to like copying and pasting text much in their editor.  hopefully all of the mistakes have been fixed now)

This seems like a good time to try my first page split!

Here are a list of forthcoming manga/books/movies/dvds/tv shows/whatever that have come across my radar. It’s not a complete list, just some stuff I’m interested in tracking, and certainly not all of it! Most release dates are from Amazon, some are from publishers. When I have a conflict I will post both dates but not worry over much which one is right as long as I have the month right! Unless it’s Tokyopop. They seem to ship their manga a week or two early.
