Manga That You Should Buy Right Now 2012

Here is my 2012 list of Manga That You Should Buy Right Now! I’ve ran this panel throughout the year to the various cons I go to, and people seem to dig it. I tried to make the list pretty varied, with stuff that you can still buy or at least order without paying an arm and a leg. And so far, it has worked! I’ve had a few people track me down at later cons telling me they bought some books. Which is pretty much the biggest complement I can get for a panel like this. I’m already mentally working a new list of manga to tell people about for next year!
