Store News and Tab Clearing

A lot of announcements came out of Anime Boston over the past weekend, so I'm going to try to round up the important ones for you right here. Strap in!

Viz Media announced that it will release Abi Umeda's Children of the Whales  and Maki Enjoji SP Baby (SP x Baby) manga, as well as NisiOisin and Hikaru Nakamura's Juni Taisen: Zodiac Warriors light novel. The company will also release the Tokyo Ghoul Illustrations: Zakki art book and the Shiver: Junji Ito Selected Stories book, both of which are slated for this winter. Viz also announced that it will release the first volumes of the Naruto: Chibi Sasuke's Sharingan Legend, Astra Lost in Space, and The Promised Neverland digitally and in print. In addition, it will release elDLIVE, The Emperor and I, and Tokyo Ghoul: Jack digitally. Astra Lost in Space and The Promised Neverland are slated for this winter.

Viz Media also announced that it will release Death Note in an all-in-one edition this August. Viz Media confirmed the release will be the same as the Japanese edition, which is 2,400 pages and includes a special story that ran in Weekly Shonen Jump in November 2008 to commemorate the release of the third Death Note movie, L: Change the World.

Sentai Filmworks announced at its panel at Anime Boston that it has licensed the following Kyoto Animation films: Love, Chunibyo, & Other Delusions: Rikka Takanashi Version, Tamako Love Story, and both the Beyond the Boundary -I'LL BE HERE- Past and Beyond the Boundary -I'LL BE HERE- Future films. They have also licensed the Grimoire of Zero and Kabukibu! anime. Both series will stream in the United States on Amazon's Anime Strike streaming platform. The company also plans to release both series on home video.

Sentai announced on Friday that it has licensed The Dragon Dentist, the feature-length version of the first short from the Japan Anima(tor)'s Exhibition (Japan Animator Expo) project. The company will soon release the two-part television special digitally, and a home video release will follow. They also licensed the television anime of Yutaka Kono's teen science-fiction/fantasy light novel series Sagrada Reset, the television anime of Karuna Kanzaki and Yuya Kurokami's Armed Girl's Machiavellism (Buso Shojo Machiavellism) manga, and the Frame Arms Girl and Atom The Beginning anime.

FUNimation Entertainment announced that it will release the Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches television anime series on Blu-ray Disc and DVD in July. The anime will be available for pre-order in a couple of weeks.

Some adventurers delve into the sprawling labyrinths beneath the city of Orario to find fame and fortune. Others come to test their skills against the legions of monsters lurking in the darkness below. However, Bell Cranel's grandfather told him a different reason: it's a great place to rescue (and subsequently meet) girls! Now that Bell's a dungeon delver himself, the ladies he's encountering aren't the helpless damsels in distress he'd imagined, and one of them, the beautiful swordswoman Ais Wallenstein, keeps rescuing Bell instead. As embarrassing as that is, it's nothing compared to what happens when goddesses get involved. Freya, Hephaistos, and Loki, with their powerful Familias, are intimidating enough, but there's one goddess whose relationship with Bell is certain to spark trouble. After all, Bell is the ONLY member of the goddess Hestia's Familia, and she's not sure if she wants to share him with anyone!


Collectors Edition of Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? contains episodes 1-13 plus a custom Collectors Box, Hardcover Booklet, Poster, Static Clings, Lenticular Card, Hardcover Grimoire.

Komugi Yoshida wants to be famous, but her efforts as an idol don't seem to be working out so far. Unlike her prim friend Cocona or her tomboyish rival Tsukasa, both of whose idol popularity is soaring, Komugi seems to be getting only the bottom-tier jobs, like pitching pharmaceutical products to the locals. However, everything changes when Komugi discovers an injured creature named Usa-P who offers her a chance to be something bigger: a magical nurse! With awesome powers and a cute outfit to boot, Komugi might just be moving up in the world, but is she going to be able to handle the stress of saving the world, being an idol, AND keeping up in school?


Takeo Goda's hulking physique and affinity for sports make him popular with other guys, but girls just find him intimidating. Unaware of his gentle nature, the girls that Takeo likes always seem to fall for his handsome best friend, Makoto, instead. Takeo is resigned to being Makoto's wingman, with no hard feelings between them, until Takeo rescues Rinko Yamato from a molester on the train. Unfortunately, while Rinko might see past Takeo's brutish appearance, Takeo's become so conditioned to girls preferring Makoto that he assumes Rinko is the same! Being the good, genuine guy he is, he's going to do everything he can to help the two of them be happy. Will Takeo let himself believe someone likes him? Love isn't blind: it's just a little dense in MY LOVE STORY!!


My Love Story Premium Edition Box Set contains episodes 1-24 plus a Chipboard Box, Hardcover Booklet, Poster, Valentines Cards, Macaron Container, Keychain, Buttons and Art cards.

What's salty, bursting with flavor, and just a touch crunchy? The most perfect snack Umai-bou, of course! Oh, but then there's also Fue Ramune, Baby Star Ramen, and the iconic Sakuma Drops. And you can't forget about Wata-Pachi. So many tasty things get in my mouth already! Welcome to Shikada Dagashi where your sweet tooth can find heaven. Ninth in line to run this fine establishment, Kokonotsu Shikada aka "Coconuts" would rather spend his time creating manga than thinking about Dagashi. But when a strange girl named Hotaru appears at the shop to recruit his dad, he's suddenly pulled into her world of snack food obsession! Determined to make Kokonotsu realize his calling, Hotaru visits the shop daily to discuss the beauty, ingenuity, and overall taste of Japan's famous snacks. Will her love of snacks, and maybe more, rub off on him? Get ready to sink your teeth into these tantalizing delights!


Fighting for your life has never been more arousing! Based off the hit game series, Valkyrie Drive comes a titillating tale of power, war, and a beautiful bond between girls. The Armed Virus plagues a small percent of the female population, turning girls into living weapons that are activated with a special...touch. Afraid of the power they hold, these girls are sent to islands where they either survive or die trying. Mamori Tokonome is sent to Mermaid Island and thrust into a world where she is paired up with the mysterious and buxom beauty, Mirei Shikishima. Pressed against a corner, a passionate kiss releases Mamori's power and she becomes a mighty sword that, in Mirei's strong grip, is a fearsome weapon. Together they'll face the Wärter, a group that believes in ruling with a firm hand, who seek the most powerful weapons. Wanting nothing to do with this organization, Mamori and Mirei must find their own way home before the Wärter can claim them for good. The harder they fight, the closer they grow-can Mamori handle when the battle and feelings heat up?

Get ready for cute girls and serious weapons in this brand-new spinoff from the hit series, Aria the Scarlet Ammo! Akari Mamiya wants to become a powerful BUTEI like her idol, Aria Kanzaki, but her skills are lacking. In fact, she's just a lowly E-rank student at Tokyo Butei High School, and her chances of getting to the top are slim. Determined to be more than she is, she makes the move to become Aria's Amica and receive training to be just like her! But is the double pistol-wielding ace ready to take on the challenge of teaching? Between the struggles of high school and intense training, Akari must work her hardest to prove she's worthy of being Aria's Amica and ready to be a true BUTEI! Which is way easier said than done. Luckily, with her friends close by her side, anything is possible! But anyone can become your enemy even your closest allies. When danger lurks around the corner, Akari must master the power within her to protect her friends and herself. All while facing the truth of her past.


From studio BONES, the creators of Fullmetal Alchemist and Soul Eater, comes My Hero Academia, a superhero origin story that soars to the top of the class. It's an exciting age of heroes, where most people develop supernatural abilities known as Quirks. Bright-eyed kids like Izuku Midoriya-Deku for short-dream of the day they become champions of the people. There's just one little problem standing in Deku's way. In a world full of heroes, he's Quirkless. Crushed, but not down for the count, this superhero-fanboy dedicates his time to studying the pros in hopes that he, too, can join a prestigious high school for heroes. In the face of despair, Deku's courage catches the eye of his ultimate idol, the symbol of justice known as All Might! With special training from the big guy himself, Deku and the talented first-years of the academy may finally have a shot at achieving their dreams. But these amateurs are put to the test of a lifetime when routine training becomes a battle against real villains!
