Manga Watch List: 4 March to 10 March
originally written for and posted on Comicsnob.com [Dec ’06 – May ’08]
Once again I find no one can really agree on exact release dates. Most often I believe my inventory computer at work, because it tells me when the warehouses (and hopefully the bookstores) are getting titles in, as opposed to what publishers said about when their titles should be out back when they first announced them 6 months ago.
I do check publishers web sites in a few instances… though does anyone know why ADV hasn’t bothered to update the manga section of their page since 2005?

##
So what’s up off of this week’s list for me?
Angelic Days, even though I can feel my interest in this title slipping. Maybe I need to watch the anime again. (yes, even though this manga adaptation is a different version entirely…)
3 volumes of Zombie Powder are already sitting on my desk, taunting me to read and review them.
Emma looks interesting, though I’ve seen the anime and the ending left me a little sour (though it was historically accurate) so I’m not jumping up and down to go there again. Still…
Questions, concerns, corrections? I open the floor to your comments…
