Quick roundup

At Rocket Bomber, Matt Blind has the most recent manga sales charts (reflecting online sales) and he also takes a closer look at how Yen Press is doing.

Amazon has listed Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, as a 2011 release from Viz, which has already announced it has licensed the anime.

Vol. 2 of Chi’s Sweet Home is Melinda Beasi’s Pick of the Week at Manga Bookshelf.

E is for Eden, Emma, ES, and a host of other titles as David Welsh continues his seinen alphabet at The Manga Curmudgeon.

News from Japan: Manga-ka Yukito Kishiro says on his blog that his Battle Angel Alita, which he put on hiatus after a dispute with his editors, will return, in either Shueisha’s Ultra Jump (its original home) or Kodansha’s Evening. The dispute is a bit complicated, but it’s an interesting story and I encourage you to check the link.
