If you were on the fence about picking up Ribon’s Lunatic Zatsugidan reprints then these stunning covers might just sway you! I love the redesign, it makes the colors stand out so much more than the original editions. Looking for a bonus? The new editions will also include a previously unpublished story!

I thought these were out of my budget for the summer but maybe I’ll have to rethink that...

Lunatic Zatsugidan gets a reprint

Nakayoshi is also having it’s 60th anniversary this year and held a poll asking people which classic series they would want reprinted. The poll did so well that they are republishing 10 classic series - you might see a post about this later on because I plan to buy a couple. And not to be outdone, it seems Ribon is interested in this idea too. First up is Okada Aamin’s Lunatic Zatsugidan which about a girl who goes to live with a very strange family while her parents are away. All three volumes will be released July 24th.
