Today’s Manga: #MarchComesInLikeALion ( #SangatsuNoLion ) by Chica Umino -Localization: @denpabooks.bsky.social -Translation: Jocelyne Allen -Proofreading: Varrick Robinson -Production: Glen Isip, Nicole Dochych, Risa Cho

Cover approved. Keigo Shinzo’s Holiday Junction should be ready to go to print late November.

2. March Comes in Like a Lion - Heartrending, hilarious, and something I think about all the time. Please read this (or watch the anime, that’s also quite good)

March Comes In Like a Lion is the only manga I own with fold-out color pages. Its very cool

Happy THURSDAY, Minties! @whitecatcosplay.bsky.social has another Manga OVERVIEW for you today! This is for They Were 11! by Moto Hagio Check it out: youtu.be/MenCieu6X9w

Picking up this order at local bookshop, and the salesperson kept saying how beautiful the cover was. High-quality all around!

Today on Okazu – They Were 11! Moto Hagio’s award-winning science fiction epic is out now in a beautiful omnibus edition from Denpa Books! okazu.yuricon.com/2025/10/05/t...

If Cross Game were still readily available in the US, I'd recommend starting there to get a taste of what makes Adachi so incredible a cartoonist, but in lieu of that, Short Game is fair at giving a taste of some of Adachi's penchant for giving things little twists, sometimes subtle.

While Adachi is most well known (and lauded) for his longer series where he gets to build characterization and drama over time, he's also done quite a few single chapter shorts. There are four collections under the title Short Program, though we only ever got 2 in the US. And now Short Game!

This includes some short gag type filler manga that aren't interesting, but if we exclude those, I really liked these! The atmosphere was really good, this captures the fleeting moments and once in a lifetime chances at sports and life very well. I need to read more sports manga.

This week on Manga Tak, I’m joined by Pippa and Georgie to chat the excellent They Were 11! by Moto Hagio (published by @denpabooks.bsky.social ) This groundbreaking sci-fi Shojo is one not to be missed! Get it here or wherever pods are cast! www.buzzsprout.com/2373443/epis...

Picked this up at the @denpabooks.bsky.social booth at Anime NYC. It's Moto Hagio, so of course it's well drawn and well written. Most importantly she really understands cats. As a cat person myself, I really appreciated her humor and portrayal of Leo. Brilliant manga from a master of the form.
