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.
