Finally got my copy of the latest issue.... was quite taken with the artwork and pacing of the adaptation. Good stuff.
This is great work by Yen Press.... it may not be "next day" release but they're coming closest to the "reasonable time after Japanese release" that I'd like to see for english translations (like the Chinese and Koreans get).

Purchased all four volumes at Barnes & Noble the other day, and I'm reminded of just why I loved this series so much. I'll definitely be on the look-out for volume 5!
(And hoping the manga stays on the shelves; I suppose I'll have to depend on Amazon now to get my volumes of Black God.)

i have to say they really did a great job with the manga even the art (its similar to the volume covers not the anime) is great, really detailed. its a fun read too and the manga has extra content that they droped from the anime also some images can are a bit "spicy" yum i love me some good spice i sure you all will enjoy it! 2 thumb up!!

Well, I was able to sit down and read through the English release of the manga Volume 5.
I liked the interpretation and flow of the story. The bonus track was of course a bit silly, being a K-On! spoof. Holo looked amazing as always, and there was one bit of art that was simply wow! I will leave that for y'all to find. I can't wait for Volume V of the novel or the next manga release!

Same here... really enjoyed the artwork and the depiction of Holo and Lawrence as they thrashed out their rough spots.
The bonus track was pointless and amusing

Finally got around to picking up Volume 5 myself and as stated above, the artwork is just fantastic. Favorite page: 80. Just because.
The story's spot-on as usual, made all the more special by the few scenes that didn't make it into the anime. Kudos to Yen Press as well, I know they get a bit of flack for translation sometimes (more the light novel, to be fair) but I've never had an issue and their release schedule (at least for the manga) could be much worse. Bonus Track was bonkers, as expected XD Looking forward to the next release (March?) |

I'm planning to catch up with the manga next month. It's my birthday on the first, and the next novel is due a week or two later so it'd be a perfect time to catch up (as it stand I've only got the first 2 manga volumes, which my younger brothers bought me); the manga is the one aspect of this series I can easily obtain that I've kinda neglected.
Plus a K-ON spoof in Vol5? Brilliant Holo+Lawrence+Guitar elements = Beck on Steroids/Pure Awesome
