I've already brought Durarara!! and Sailor Moon. Plan to get Nagato Yuki-chan and Drops of God, although I am annoyed by the fact it is now being published out of order.

There are also some manhwa and OEL manga out this week as well. I plan to get the new editions of Witch Hunter, and also HeroMan.
 
Thought I'd recognised the art in Triage X... Daisuke, your bro has gone off the deep end with this one. XD

Negima and Girlfriend are potential buys for me. Gonna check preview on Jmanga for GF before my final decision's made. Kinda fallen WAY behind on Haruhi franchise unfortunately.
 
Just now got my dispatch email from Amazon for Girl Friends. I had to support one of the few "proper" (i.e. no gimmicks or mere subtext) yuri manga to be released in English. Triage X is appealing for more prurient reasons...

I'm surprised at how much manga is still being published given all we hear about falling sales and tough market conditions. Who's buying all this stuff?
 
I dunno what was up with Amazon and Girl Friends tbh. When I ordered a week or two back they had a November release date, yet The Book Depository and United Publications had it in stock--but since neither were as cheap as Amazon, I was okay with waiting. Then yesterday I received an email from Amazon informing me that the estimated delivery date was being brought forward.

Sounds like the book has a binding issue similar to Vertical's Sakuran. Got a big fat crease along the spine of that one ;_;
 
Manga release dates are always weird due to some voodoo that takes place when they're imported for UK distribution. For example, my father received his Drops Of God 5 from them several weeks ago, but Amazon is saying the release is in January. I'm going to sling it on an order at an actual comics shop at some point since I know it exists and don't want to wait until the arbitrary January date to read it.

I'll also be ordering Black Butler at some stage. Sailor Moon and the GTO prequel are on my Christmas list.

I may be looking to get Triage X and Girl Friends at some point, maybe with the Anime Orders in November.

...And now I'm falling either further behind on Air Gear
