New Manga Releases - 19/05/2015

I need to wrangle some money out of my budget for Emma, might have to wait a bit. I've enjoyed what I've read of Bride's Story so far and I think I'd like Emma too.

I need to catch up on more manga in general, I've got a lot of unread volumes piling up.

This seems like an unreasonably large number of releases in the same week.

Magical Index novel 3 is also out today. As I am in the USA currently i picked up SAO Girls Ops and Index novel 3. Store didnt have Ubel Blatt 2 so will order that when back in the Uk.

Yen Press always seem to release the majority of their titles in 1 week, must work better for them I guess?

Viz are the same. First week of the month is a nightmare for my wallet.

You would think it "must" work well for them, but then you would have thought it "must" have been working well for ADV when they were releasing an unreasonable number of anime in the same week way back when. ^^;

Umineko for me.

It's quite commonplace for publishers to release everything from the same label at the same point in each month (which can be the xth, the 2nd Tuesday or whatever). It gives them a clear structure to work with, enabling each stage of the publishing process for everything being released that month to be done together, rather than creating a separate schedule for each and every volume.

It's just people don't usually notice because in most cases the majority of readers don't even pay attention to the publishing label that a book comes from.
