Vermonia, vol. 1:

From the publisher:

On a distant Blue Star, Mel, Jim, Naomi, and Doug — friends obsessed with their garage band — don’t seem that different from any of the other twelve-year-old skateboarders at Union Middle School. But everything changes when Mel is kidnapped and imprisoned in a world called the Turtle Realm. As her friends rush to save her, guided by the magical squelp Satorin, they find a world terrorized by a conquering army, a land whose villagers’ only hope is an ancient prophecy foretelling the arrival of four heroes. Will they be brave enough to release their true warrior spirits — and return the rightful queen to her throne?

The battle for Vermonia begins! Fabulous manga artwork highlights this graphic tale of four friends who hold the fate of three worlds in their hands.

Looks oh so normal so far — so why the highlight?

1. it’s from YoYo, a new manga ‘studio’ — young graduates of a manga & anime school in Japan
2. it’s release in the States is from Candlewick — an established children’s imprint but new to both graphic novels and manga

a search of various Amazonia (.ca & .au) reveal that there are at least 3 volumes in the series, even though only the first volume has been released in the U.S. (and that one just today.)

edit: icv2 reported on this weeks ago

Helllloooo, Nurse!

Yokai Doctor vol 2. Del Rey, available 25 Aug or thereabouts, $11, isbn 9780345512390

Hey, Dallas, if you wanted me to read this series, you should have put this Naasu-chan on the cover to vol 1. Like much of the fan base, I’m not a complicated guy. And from this cover I can tell, first, that this series has nurses in it (or at least one nurse) and second, it must be a supernatural series.

Because common cotton uniform fabric?
…usually doesn’t do that.

Found: Fruits Basket vols 1-23 Box Set

filed under , 17 June 2009, 20:15 by

Found:
No images yet. Few details forthcoming to date. But listed everywhere as

Fruits Basket — The Complete Series Box and More!

isbn 9781427816955
List Price: $149.99, but none of us is going to pay that much, Amazon has it currently listed for under $100 and between the sale price and memberships and special offers and coupons, no matter what your retailer of choice, everyone should be able to buy this for less than a c-note. ~$4.35 a volume or less.

So if you haven’t read Fruits Basket yet (which while unlikely is possible) (or if you read it by borrowing it from the library — which is a lot more credible now that I think of it — and wanted to own a set) here’s your opportunity to pick up the series for a song, with some unnamed-but-exclamation-point-emphasized extras, and likely, a container to keep it all in. Should be a nice counterweight to my Naruto Shadow Box.

At time of posting it’s scheduled to street on 29 September; given their recent track record I’ll only believe a Tokyopop release date two weeks after it’s actually been delivered.

Of course, we knew these were coming. That’s old news.

Over on the Yen Press Blog, closely following the original announcement, someone [*cough*] prodded Hassler to cough up the ISBNs

#6 – 9780316073240 (September 2009)
#7 – 9780316073257 (December 2009)
#8 – 9780316073271 (April 2010)

The new hotness is that vols 6 & 7 are now coming up on Amazon for pre-order:

Volume 6 can be yours in just 155 days.

Volume 7 will be available just in time for Christmas.

[cover art not final, obviously, as these are from the Japanese editions.]
[and just for giggles here’s vol. 8, which one hopes will be listed soon]

GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class, vol 1.

Yen Press, story & art by Satoko Kiyuduki, isbn 9780759529038, $10.99, available now.

From the publisher

It’s Kisaragi’s first year in G.A.: the specialized art and design department at her high school. The timid Kisaragi has a lot to learn, but with the help of a very unique group of friends, even the most difficult lesson becomes loads of fun — if not downright silly! With the aid of full-color pages throughout, you too can learn the basics of color theory and become a great artist yourself! Satoko Kiyuduki, creator of Shoulder-a-Coffin Kuro, melds art class and manga in a whole new way!

I haven’t seriously considered a career in art since drafting classes (architecture — major #5? 6? — in my decade long undergraduate endeavors) but even so I own an embarrassing number of manga how-to books. This one, at least, has a cute cast and a bit of a story line. I’m thinking this will be worth picking up.

Found:

Flower of Life vol 4

From Digital Manga Publishing, isbn 9781569700556, coming out on or about 20 May 2009.

The first three volumes of Flower of Life almost work as a complete series in and of themselves — not that there is a resolution but as a slice-of-life[-ish] comic there is certainly plenty there to amuse and entertain, and while the plot is still left open it’s not like there’s a massive cliff hanger or anything so it can be enjoyed, and set to one side.

That said:

IF there were only three volumes available in English I’d be OK with that — BUT with the fourth volume coming out I’m definitely all for picking this series up again and I hope DMP won’t make us wait two years between volumes. ever. again.

Flower of Life is Good Stuff™ — but you don’t have to take just my word for it

Flower of Life from Fumi Yoshinaga (Antique Bakery, Satisfaction Guaranteed, a full slate of Yaoi titles) (Flower of Life is a romcom, though, not yaoi), published in English by DMP and definitely worth your time, and money.

from Del Rey, isbn 9780345508959, available now:

Gakuen Prince, vol 1.

From the publisher

Joshi High is an elite school that most girls in Japan only dream of attending. Then one day everything changes — the all-girl school goes coed. There’s just one catch: The girls outnumber the boys. So begins a wild, no-holds-barred competition for the boys of the school. Which smart and independent-minded girl will rise above the fray?

Damn, who can look at that cover and not want a doujinshi (or five) featuring these two characters… but perhaps I reveal too much…

The Publishers Weekly review notes, “Gakuen Prince is fun in this first volume, but walks dangerously close to just being trashy.” Oh, please: we’re reading this for the trashy.

Manga Midlist 500
(adjusted sales rankings excluding volumes from the top 5 series)
for the week ending 29 March 2009

To better illustrate how 2nd-tier titles are performing, the 100 or so books from the top 5 series are excluded, and then a top 500 chart (this ‘Midlist 500’) is re-run and re-numbered with the volumes that remain.

Found: Avalon Manga from Seven Seas

From Seven Seas, isbn 9781934876640, releasing on or about 26 May.

Avalon: The Warlock Diaries, vol 1

from the publisher

Adriane, Emily, Kara, Ozzie and the entire Avalon gang begin a brand new adventure in a new story written by Rachel Roberts with visually dynamic artwork by Edward Gan! When a handsome young warlock appears, the mages realize he may be trouble. But the warlock shows them a fairy map with the portal sequence that will lead the mages right to Avalon, the source of all magic.

If you don’t have a daughter or niece of the appropriate age, or daily contact with young girls [what? ... I resent your assumptions. c'mon, I work at a bookstore, I have to know this stuff...] you might not be aware of the Avalon: Web of Magic novels.

here’s the pitch for novel #1:

It’s every girl’s fantasy to find herself pulled into a new magical world—and make a difference to the extraordinary creatures that live there. That’s what awaits them in Avalon, a place where magic is real. It begins with winged cats, mighty mistwolves, duck-like quiffles and one pretty amazing golden ferret that are not of this world. Hurt, hungry and barely alive, they have come to be healed, to be helped, to get home—for a last desperate attempt at survival. But the magical animals did not come alone. The evil that stalked them in their world has followed them into ours. It will not stop until it gets what it wants: the secret map to a place called Avalon. The animals’ only hope is to fulfill an ancient prophecy and find three very different, but special girls: a healer, a warrior and a blazing star, who can lead them through a web of magical worlds, to the place from which all magic flows, Avalon.

…in other words, this is a distinctly western take on the Magical-Girl-trope — and as far as I know it was developed independently without foreknowledge of the Japanese versions. So yeah, doubly good.

8 novels extant, 12 planned. This will be the first of three manga (maybe more? …ask 7seas) — YES, this is a 12 Volume YA Fantasy Series you’ve never heard of. If you have a Warriors fan in your house maybe you should turn them on to this.

Yes, all the links are broken.

On June 1, 2015 (after 6 years and 11 months) I needed to relaunch/restart this blog, or at least rekindle my interest in maintaining and updating it.

Rather than delete and discard the whole thing, I instead moved the blog -- database, cms, files, archives, and all -- to this subdomain. When you encounter broken links (and you will encounter broken links) just change the URL in the address bar from www.rocketbomber.com to archive.rocketbomber.com.

I know this is inconvenient, and for that I apologise. In addition to breaking tens of thousands of links, this also adversely affects the blog visibility on search engines -- but that, I'm willing to live with. Between the Wayback Machine at Archive.org and my own half-hearted preservation efforts (which you are currently reading) I feel nothing has been lost, though you may have to dig a bit harder for it.

As always, thank you for reading. Writing version 1.0 of Rocket Bomber was a blast. For those that would like to follow me on the 2.0 - I'll see you back on the main site.
