from VIZ Media:
VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), one of the entertainment industry’s most innovative and comprehensive publishing, animation and licensing companies, has announced the release today of author Housuke Nojiri’s science fiction adventure, Rocket Girls: The Last Planet. The new paperback edition is the second in the Rocket Girls series, is published under the company’s Haikasoru imprint, and carries an MSRP of $13.99 U.S. / $15.99 CAN.
Haikasoru publishes some of the most compelling contemporary Japanese science fiction and fantasy stories for English-speaking audiences. The imprint is the first to launch in North America with a dedicated focus on Japanese science fiction.
When the Rocket Girls accidentally splash down in the pond of Yukari Morita’s old school, it looks as though their experiment is ruined. Luckily, the geeky Akane is there to save the day. Fitting the profile — she’s intelligent, enthusiastic, and petite — Akane is soon recruited by the Solomon Space Association. Yukari and Akane are then given the biggest Rocket Girl mission yet: to do what NASA astronauts cannot and save a probe headed to the minor planet Pluto and the very edge of the solar system.
“We’re very excited to announce the release of the latest installment of the Rocket Girls series from the award-winning author Housuke Nojiri,” says Nick Mamatas, Haikasoru editor. “It’s the perfect combination of hard science fiction and teenage hijinks — a novel that harkens back to the Golden Age of science fiction while being hip and fresh. We’ve heard from so many fans about the original Rocket Girls, and look forward to readers jumping on board to find out what happens when the Girls help out, and butt heads with, no less than NASA itself.”
Author Housuke Nojiri was born in Mie, Japan, in 1961. After working in instrumentation control, CAD programming, and game design, he published his first work, The Blind Spot of Veis, based on the video game Creguian, in 1992. He gained further popularity with subsequent works the Creguian series and also for the Rocket Girls series. In 2002, he published Usurper of the Sun (also available from Haikasoru), which ushered in a new era of space science fiction in Japan. After first appearing as a series of short stories, Usurper won the prestigious Seiun Award for the best Japanese science fiction novel of 2002. His other notable works include Pendulum of Pinieru and Fuwa-Fuwa no Izumi.

The story follows average student Moritaka Mashiro, who enjoys drawing for fun, but when his classmate and aspiring writer Akito Takagi discovers his talent, he begs Moritaka to team up with him as a manga-creating duo. But what exactly does it take to make it in the manga-publishing world?
Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan (Rated ‘T’ for Teens) is a new shonen manga from creator Hiroshi Shiibashi. While the day belongs to humans, the night belongs to yokai, supernatural creatures that thrive on human fear. Caught between these worlds is Rikuo Nura. He’s three-quarters human, but his grandfather is none other than Nurarihyon, the supreme commander of the Nura clan, a powerful yokai consortium. So, Rikuo is an ordinary teenager three quarters of the time, until his yokai blood awakens. Then Rikuo transforms into the future leader of the Nura clan, leading a hundred demons.

…so we bring you two new designs that celebrate your intelligence!
Brain Power Premium Tee
While you were in the gym gunning your lats, I deduced the fusion point for dilithium crystals. During your two hour yoga binge, I synthesized a cancer-fighting agent from bacon grease and captain crunch. Instead of calling my friends to help move the piano (like you did), I just lifted it myself — with my mind. You can keep your muscles, chief — I’ve got brain power.

Smart is the New Dumb Women’s Tee
There was a time, not too long ago, when it was vogue to be vapid and inexplicably stylish to be intellectually stunted! But thankfully (hopefully) those days are done! The Internet, in all its majesty, has brought about the Golden Age of Information and, in doing so, has reinstated intelligence as the hottest force in the universe! Nevermore shall ignorance be exalted! Smart is the new dumb! (And exclamation marks are the new periods!)

This summer, Star Wars fans and music lovers in the Los Angeles area can experience the sweeping music and epic story of the Star Wars saga in a two-night engagement of Star Wars: In Concert at the Hollywood Bowl.
On Friday, June 3 and Saturday June 4, 2011, the famed amphitheater will host the unique multi-media event featuring music from all six of John Williams’ epic Star Wars scores. Narrated live by Anthony Daniels (the actor who portrayed C-3PO in all six films), the production features principal conductor Dirk Brossé leading the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and choir, accompanied by specially edited footage from the films displayed on a three-story-tall, high-definition LED super-screen — one of the largest ever put on tour. The live music and film elements are synchronized in order to create a full multi-media, one-of-a-kind Star Wars experience.
Tickets go on sale starting Monday, March 14 at 10am Pacific. Tickets will be available at Ticketmaster Outlets, via phone (800) 745-3000, or online at ticketmaster.com. For more information about Star Wars: in Concert, visit the official website at StarWarsinConcert.com.
Star Wars: in Concert at the Hollywood Bowl is produced by Andrew Hewitt & Bill Silva Presents.

In the last episode of My Anime Girlfriend, we got a hint at the carnage Yuruki could cause if she put her mind to it. Knowing this, you think Sid would be a little more careful with the drycleaning. Looks like trouble in paradise in this latest episode, so fanboys (and girls) be on alert! (And while you’re at it, take your photo with Yuruki. Anime chicks dig weird obsessions.)
