Really looking forward to the Frau Faust. Seems she likes these B&B type stories. And her art is a plus to look at.
Steve Universe in the West and now the East has there own jem female fighter. Considering all the fairy princess shows I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner. Now I'm curious if they'll give it an anime after that presentation. |

It's Kigurumi Guardians. That's how it's written on the Japanese cover of the manga. I'm not surprised they screwed up, it's the usual bad translation quality I expect from Kodansha Comics. Harumatsu Bokura looks weird too... shouldn't there be a "we" somewhere in the English title?

Glad Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight made the list!
 One of my favorites from last year.
Too bad Morino's My Fair Neighbor isn't here. Even if it was just one volume, I still would've like to own it. 
I checked out Land of the Lustrous and it looked absolutely beautiful. More so if the manga were in color. Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight and Land of the Lustrous will be going on my bookshelf.

So many new things!!! My mind is spinning!
@Animechic420, it makes sense to start with just one series from a new-to-English author (and I'm happy to start with a longer, second series rather than a single debut volume that might give readers a limited sense of the artist's direction). If Sleeping Beauty does well here, it wouldn't be surprising to get earlier/later works eventually too. |

I don't think deciding to go with another title than the purely decorative English words the Japanese decided to scribble on the covers has anything to do with "translation quality". You can argue with the decision - and I'll admit that it's an odd one in this case - but at least admit that it's a decision and not just a stupid mistake where nobody bothered to look at the cover of the manga for some reason. Meanwhile I'll be happy to read "Kuroko's Basketball" instead of "The Basketball Which Kuroko Plays". |

What I read of Love & Lies (Koi to Uso) when it was on Mangabox was quite well written, easily crosses the "Worth buying" line.

Houseki no Kuni and Aho Girl are two very, very different comics, but I love them both and I'm thrilled they're getting legal releases over here!

Holy crud, I didn't think Aho Girl was going to get released over here in the U.S.! Well, I've been keeping up with the manga online, but I'll consider buying it.

That's how we got stuck with "Attack on Titan," after all. |

While I am very happy to see Lily Hoshino's work manga work getting official US release, I still wonder why nobody has picked up Otome Yōkai Zakuro? It is still ongoing, albeit in a hiatus currently due to the birth of her child. Now would be the PERFECT time to pick it up and start putting out volumes!
I have been reading Love and Lies on MangaBox since it started. It is actually one of the main reasons I keep the app. I love it! I will probably buy the manga to support the author further. Harumatsu Bokura is a pretty good series. I have enjoyed what I have read of it. I look forward to reading the official translation. Aho Girl has beein on my "I should read that" list for a while. I might pick up the first volume to see what it is like. Land of the Lustrous looks GORGEOUS! I will probably get that one just to stare at the pretty pictures! Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight might be worth a try too. Twisted fairy tales are fun. |

Some interesting looking things here. I'll be checking out Frau Faust for sure as I love the Ancient Magus' Bride.
