I figured out what I’m ordering from DCBS this month, these books will be coming out around April.
New manga series:
Honey Hunt – I read the first chapter in Shojo Beat and thought this would be a great Miki Aihara soapy romance title. So I’m excited to read the first collected volume.
Venus Capriccio – A new title from CMX. I’ve had good luck in the past randomly selecting some first volumes of theirs (Venus in Love, Apothecarius Argentum, Oyayubihime Infinity) so I usually want to check out their new series.
Man of Tango – While I might be ordering this mainly because the title is Man of Tango, I am actually curious about this yaoi title from Deux.
Ongoing Series:
Venus in Love #6 – This series about the romantic entanglements of college students just makes me happy. There’s a gentle humor to the book that gives it a feeling of coziness.
Silver Diamond #4 – I still need to catch up and read volumes 2 and 3, but I found the first volume of Silver Diamond so delightfully loopy I am guessing I’ll be happy to have preordered this.
Song of the Hanging Sky #3 – The first couple volumes were absolutely lovely, and I think this series doesn’t get the hype it deserves.
20th Century Boys #2 – Haven’t read the first volume yet, but this is one of the series I’ve been anticipating for a long time.
Boys Over Flowers #35 – Will Tsukasa and Tsukushi ever get together? Oh, those crazy kids!
Jyu Oh Sei #3 – I liked the first volume’s classic scifi feel.
Kyo Kara Maoh #3 – I do have a soft spot for any manga that features a toilet as an interdimensional transportation device.
Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden #8 – There’s such a long wait between volumes of this series, I just read volume 7 and realized I should have taken the time to reread all the previous volumes just to familiarize myself with the story again. Still, I’m liking this more than Fushigi Yugi.
Black Jack #4 and Vagabond VizBig #3 – It is like a double dose of awesomeness!
What manga are you looking forward to picking up in the next few months?

Totally agree about the wait for FY Genbu Kaiden. It’s much better than FY for sure.
New ones:I’ll pick up Honey Hunt, of course, Otomen – it seems kind of funny silly – Hot Gimmick Vizbig. The Name of the Flower from cmx seems interesting.

I was also thinking about Otomen, but I might browse it in a bookstore or something to help me make up my mind. I’m also going to get Name of the Flower.

I am totally looking forward to vol. 9 of Kurohime. I also hope that Gimmick! 4 and Beauty Pop vol. 10 (or was it 11?)
