Once I started working on the shojo list, it was only natural for me to move on to a josei list.
There is a distinct lack of information on a lot of the josei work coming out in Japan currently as opposed to new shojo titles. So while I am much less familiar with the many titles and manga-ka, there was still plenty that caught my eye. The list is not as crazy as the shojo one, but it is by no means short.
This year we started a new monthly column The Line-Up that complies the new anime and manga news for that month. This has also allowed me to keep track of some of the new shojo titles premiering. Thanks to that I found myself checking out the year’s worth of releases as listed by Baka-Updates Manga so I thought I’d roll that into a post about some of the new shojo titles I’m most interested in that started in Japan in 2012.
This list got crazy long pretty quickly! Honestly, it is as much to help myself keep track of things as it is a post for others.
It is the Holiday season again which means sales, sales and even more sales. So most of us are looking for gifts for friends and family while trying to snag some nice deals for ourselves in the process. One of the best places to get great prices on anime this time of year is the RightStuf 12 Days of Savings (which is actually 16 days at this point but why quibble over such details).
With so many titles to choose from it might seem a bit daunting deciding what to get. So we picked out some titles you might have overlooked. And if you already made a RightStuf purchase, it’s not that hard to make another and still get free shipping. Plus you can always be a good otaku and get some of your fellow fans something they may like for the season. We tried to select a nice mixture of titles with a wide range of prices. Some make great stocking stuffers while others are big packages at a nice price.
The RightStuf 12 Days of Savings ends on December 14th.
