PopSyndicate’s Murder Princess vol 1 review

Pop Culture Shock’s Yoki Koto Kiku review

I thought I’d share a letter from a Broccoli Books reader:

Yoki Koto Kiku 2nd print has already shipped out to bookstores.

It’s possible that Borders didn’t get the Yoki Koto Kiku 2nd print in their stores (or online) because they still have stock of the first print. Yoki Koto Kiku was released as a Borders exclusive, so it’s possible that they held extra inventory.

We know that Barnes & Noble got the bigger portion of the Yoki Koto Kiku 2nd print, so you may want to try checking their stores.

E’S vol 2, Murder Princess vol 1, and re-print of Yoki Koto Kiku arrived in our offices while I was in Japan.

E’S vol 2 will hit stores on April 11.
Order E’S vol 2 from AnimeGamers.com and get free shipping + the bonus sticker.

Murder Princess vol 1 will hit stores on April 25.
Order Murder Princess vol 1 from AnimeGamers.com, and also get free shipping + bonus sticker.

The second print of Yoki Koto Kiku has extra pages, including an interview with Koge-Donbo. If you already bought a copy, give your current copy to a friend & buy another one. Share the love!

We received the proofs for Murder Princess vol 1 today.

The cover will be spot-UV on Alita/Falis + alpha.

E’S vol 2 is being printed right now.

And we’re waiting for one small fix on Yoki Koto Kiku 2nd print proofs.

We’re keeping our printers busy~

So we got more proofs today.

But editor Dee has the day off, so it might be up to me to go through them.
Hmmmm.

Time to look for an assistant editor, me thinks.

Isogashii, isogashii.

We’re planning to do a second print of Yoki Koto Kiku soon.

The first print of Yoki Koto Kiku was quite rushed… since we were trying to get it released for Anime Expo (since Koge-Donbo was attending as a Guest of Honor). So we couldn’t add all the extras we wanted to.

So, for the second print… Yoki Koto Kiku will have a bit more extras, including an exclusive Koge-Donbo interview.

Many apologizes for those who bought the 1st print. If you’re interested in the Koge-Donbo interview, please tachi-yomi (read w/o buying) at your local bookstore. We’ll also post it here, so we don’t get the bookstores upset by endorsing tachi-yomi.

Here is Manga Blog’s review of KAMUI vol 4

And Manga Mania Cafe sent us couple of new reviews…
review of KAMUI vol 2
review of Yoki Koto Kiku

There are several new (or updated) Broccoli Book title entries on Wikipedia.

KAMUI @ Wiki
This was added by Broccoli Books, since there was a mention of KAMUI manga in the disambiguation page but no entry. It took us a while to figure out how to add an entry for things that come up in the disambiguation page…

Juvenile Orion @ wiki
Someone had already started the entry, but we added information about factions & side characters.

Yoki Koto Kiku @ wiki
This was also added by Broccoli Books b/c the title was mentioned in Koge-Donbo wiki page, but there was no entry.

If you are a regular wiki editor/contributor, please help us add more information about the above titles.

We have a new reviewer, Manga Punk.
They have couple of reviews up for your reading pleasure.
