The first week of August brings a substantial influx of new manga volumes to North American retailers. Leading the charge is Viz Media, which has dropped a wide range of titles including the latest installments of Black Clover (Vol. 37), Kagurabachi (Vol. 8), and the spin-off Kaiju No. 8: Relax (Vol. 3). Fans of long-running series can also pick up new entries for D.Gray-man (Vol. 29) and The Elusive Samurai (Vol. 21).
Seven Seas Entertainment and Kodansha USA are also heavily represented in this week’s release cycle. Seven Seas has expanded its catalog with new volumes for Life with an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout and the Rozen Maiden collector’s edition. Meanwhile, Kodansha is keeping readers busy with fresh chapters of WIND BREAKER (Vol. 22) and MF Ghost (Vol. 4).
On the home video front, the primary highlight is the Rooster Fighter Limited Edition Blu-ray from Viz Media, retailing at $109.98. For digital readers, the week is equally packed, with J-Novel Club contributing several releases, such as I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons (Vol. 7) and Mercedes and the Waning Moon (Vol. 5), ensuring plenty of reading material across all major platforms.
