VIZ to release unflipped manga starting July 2009

[luxken27]

Along with the launch of RT's newest manga came the news that, starting with the release of volume 38 in July, the remaining portion of the Inuyasha manga will be preserved in its original, unflipped form and released monthly, culminating with a 3-volumes-per-book mega-release in November.

Read the press release here.

Honestly, I haven't yet read the first bit of RT's new manga, and I'm not sure if I really want to "move on" into another fandom. This one has more than its fair share of dramaz, but I'm not quite ready to board the RIN-NE train just yet. Initial reports make it sound like a Bleach ripoff (which I'm sure my Bleach friends will find amusing), and of course everyone's commenting on how much RT's character design hasn't changed, LOL.

We'll see - it certainly helps that VIZ did a fantastic job with the simulcast translation. But mostly, I'm excited for the news about the Inuyasha releases, which were stuck in a total glacial pace until now. Finally, it appears my collection will be completed within my lifetime, LOL! :P

As one of your Bleach friends? I'm amused. At first glance, it looks like the lovechild of Bleach, Yuu Yuu Hakusho and...RT manga. Meh. Not enough to get me to read it when I'm still behind on all my current fandoms.

LOL, glad I called it right! ;)

My f-list as a whole is a bit more excited; I'm still ambivalent. We'll see.
