Retailers and streaming outlets rolled out a fresh wave of anime and manga titles across North America during the week of August 30 through September 5.
On the home video side, Crunchyroll issued the Blu-ray release of Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc, while Sentai Filmworks put out Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?: Arrow of the Orion on disc, both landing in stores on September 1.
Print manga saw an especially busy slate for the same date, with new or continuing volumes arriving from Seven Seas, Viz Media, Kodansha USA, Square Enix Manga and Kana, spanning ongoing series such as Baki the Grappler, The Heroic Legend of Arslan, Kaiju No. 8, Initial D and The Ideal Sponger Life, plus fresh debut volumes across a range of genres.
As always, exact release dates and pricing can shift slightly by retailer, so readers hunting a specific title are advised to confirm availability with their preferred shop or storefront before the week is out.
