July Highlights From Viz Media
June only just started, but manga publisher Viz is already thinking 30 days ahead. Some of the books you can expect to be localized this Independence Day include such subjects as humanoid robots, post-apocalyptic deserts, and zombie hunters (meaning zombies that hunt). Another volume of the Persona manga is on the way, as is a reverse Harry Potter about a non-magical boy trying to scrape by in a highly magical school. And if you just want something different, Viz is also publishing a recipe book that shows you how to make bento boxes that resemble Disney characters. Pick your poison!
