I don’t buy every volume of Black Jack automatically, although I should. Maybe I’ll check in to see how the two-fisted surgeon is getting on.

One Fine Day – I remember this being one of the few titles I enjoyed in Yen Plus magazine. One Fine Day is about the daily lives of a wizard and his creatures. I liked the two chapters I read, but I’m wondering if the aimless nature of the plot would get on my nerves when reading in a collected volume.

Strange Yaoi Title of the Month: In the Walnut – Toko Kawai What do a gallery owner, Hideo Tanizaki, and a young, naïve filmmaker, Sohei Nakai, have in common? Well, both of them are 24-years-old – that’s a good start. They both graduated from the same art school – that can’t hurt either. The fact that Tanizaki has a perchance for art forgery is just one ‘minor’ difference between the two that Tanizaki hopes to rectify pretty quickly. Under Tanizaki’s influence, Nakai is inducted into the shady world of counterfeit art and black market dealings. However, not all of Tanizaki’s soul has been corrupted by the promise of money and power. With a kind soul, perhaps even these high stake crimes can be put to good use. Recommended Age: Young Adult 16+

I might actually get this. I like the idea of art forgery as a manga topic.

It looks like Aurora is finally soliciting a couple of Deux titles this month. Still nothing from GoComi! at all, which makes me wonder what is going on there.
