Yotsuba’s Back?

Well this is news to me.  I was browsing the Yen Press website when I saw that they’ve apparently picked up Yotsuba&! after it went into American publisher limbo.  They’ve re-released volumes 1-4 (and 5 and 6), with 7 on the way in December.

On a side note, they’ve also picked up CLAMP’s KOBATO.  Remember?  The KOBATO. that Newtype used to publish before they died?

HGSS Character Guide 3: The First Executives and Leaders

School has been rough so far.  I can’t bear to think how the rest of the year would go.  It also didn’t help that HeartGold and SoulSilver have been out in Japan and all of the new info we’ve been getting are from leaks.  But yay for us, today the official site updated with more info, this time about the first Executive and the first four Gym Leaders!

Bleach the 3rd

I bet you were expecting this post to be about BLEACH The 3rd Phantom, right?  Well, it’s not.  It’s about the 3rd season boxset of BLEACH.

I couldn't find a good pic of the boxset itself, so enjoy this one

The boxset contains episodes 42-63, “original & uncut.”  These episodes finish off the Rukia Rescue Mission and start off the Bount’s Blasphemous Fillers and Aizen’s Atrocious Arancar Plan.  Also included are the “Next Episode” previews and Kon’s extra Soul Reaper Guides that weren’t shown on [adult swim].

I’d suggest picking up the boxset along with a copy of the newest BLEACH manga.  OR, wait and see if they’ll release the boxset as a limited edition with an extra goodie like they did with season 1 and 2.

According to Otaku Dan, the boxset doesn’t include the happy stickers that you get by buying the DVD volumes separately, which makes me kind of sad D:
