This week's batch of new manga releases is short on debuts, but long on new installments of some fan favorite series, including the latest volumes of Naruto, Skip Beat and Rosario + Vampire.
While you'll likely be picking up these faves, there are a few noteworthy newcomers that might be worth a try. For the card collector set, the first volume of Yu-Gi-Oh R includes a "VanDalgyon The Dark Dragon Lord" card (which is why this volume is shrink-wrapped). For fans of gender-bending shojo manga comedies, there's Oh! My Brother, about a shy teen girl who finds herself sharing her body with her recently-deceased but still outgoing brother. And for anyone who finds themselves fascinated by bento artistry, Goth diva La Carmina offers ideas for turning any lunch into Cute Yummy Time.
Here's what's especially new and notable for this week, and the rest of the list is after the jump.
