This looks like a lot of stuff, but more than half of it is Bleach, which has gone into a hyperpublish mode for some reason:

Bleach - vol. 44 - August 7, 2012 Bleach - vol. 45 - August 7, 2012 Blade of the Immortal - vol. 25 - August 14, 2012 Bamboo Blade - vol. 14 - August 21, 2012 (END) Bunny Drop - vol. 6 - August 21, 2012 Bleach - vol. 46 - September 4, 2012 Bleach - vol. 47 - September 4, 2012 20th Century Boys, - vol. 22 - September 18, 2012 (END) Loveless - vol. 9 - September 11, 2012 Bleach - vol. 48 - October 2, 2012 Bleach - vol. 49 - October 2, 2012

Black Butler - vol. 11 - October 30, 2012 Bride of the Water God - vol. 12 - November 6, 2012 Bleach - vol. 50 - November 6, 2012 Bleach - vol. 51 - November 6, 2012 DOGS - vol. 7 - November 20, 2012 Bleach - vol. 52 - December 4, 2012 Bleach - vol. 53 - December 4, 2012 Natsume's Book of Friends - vol. 13 - December 4, 2012 Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service - vol. 13 - December 11, 2012 Loveless - vol. 10 - January 8, 2013

20th Century Boys and Bamboo Blade are about to end, and xxxHolic, Ouran High School Host Club, and Hikaru no Go all finished in the last year or so. Black Lagoon is still on hiatus, as is Wild Adapter (although the latest news says that will resume next year ... no English publisher in sight, though).

I'm trying to get moving on Kekkaishi again. I enjoy it while I'm actually reading it, but somehow it doesn't inspire me to much anticipation.

And other than that, I'm not feeling too excited about manga at the moment. (I don't dare get too excited about Saiyuki ... stay healthy, sensei!) But I don't have anything to substitute for it. It is a sad puzzlement.

Would I like DURARARA!!, anyone? Any other recs?

I LOOOVE DURARARA!! The main three characters are kind of meh but the supporting cast? GENIUS! There's lots of people with special powers so it's very interesting.

And I cannot WAIT for the new Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service I really love that book, it's awesome.

And I have to admit, I haven't been crazy about the pickin's these days either.

I do enjoy Bride of the Water God and Dogs. Oh!! Have you read any of Blood Blockade Battlefront? That is an amazing story so far.

Hmmm, no, I had not even heard of that series! Guess I'll have to check it out.
