Lost Planet Manga

Here is another title for librarians to keep their eyes out for when it is translated in English.  The first compiled book of Takeshi Miyazawa’s Lost Planet: Bound Raven is being released this week.  This will be a great crossover book for Teen/Young Adult librarians to use to get some of your library’s gamers into graphic novels.  Since it is based on a video game I’m pretty positive this will be adapted for the English audience.  Follow the link back to Anime News Network for the short article.
