God Len posts this week’s new releases at Japanator. And here is a rundown on the April list from Digital Manga, including the first volumes in their new DokiDoki imprint. (Image is vol. 1 of Train Train, one of the DokiDoki books.)
Gia notes that the new book of Hayao Miyazaki’s essays is available for preorder.
News from Japan: Kouta Hirano, creator of Hellsing, has a new series in the works, Drifters, to run in Young King Ours magazine.
Reviews: At Blogcritics, Bill Sherman is curious about whether he can dive into a series midstream, so he jumps right in with vol. 9 of The Gentlemen’s Alliance +. Confusion results, but he eventually sorts it all out. BakaTanuki reviews the Udon kids’ manga lineup at The Gaming Dungeon. Other reviews of note:
