There really isn't much to report that we don't already know about the return of Highschool of the Dead. The long Daisuke Sato interview, which is printed in its entirety in the booklet that came with this issue and in two parts in the two new Full Color Editions (if that is the same interview), could contain some nuggets of information, but I don't believe there is any specific date. If there was, I'm sure it would appear on the announcement page we already saw that simply says it will return this spring.
By the way, here is a better scan of that page:
There is at least some news for HOTD in this issue. Full Color Edition Volume 7 will be out next month on the 9th. The announcement is in the extra booklet, which, other than the interview, has a recap of the story (a good sign that the story will pick up where it left off) and Chapter 29 in full color. I probably won't bother scanning it. If I really wanted to, I might as well wait until next month when I can use higher quality scans. Anyway, I was disappointed to find that there were no new illustrations in the booklet or the FCEs (other than cover art). So there's really nothing worth scanning for you at the moment.
Other than that, this was an uneventful issue. I'm actually considering not doing these monthly updates anymore since there will soon be no hiatus to keep you updated on. After all, the hiatus is what prompted these monthly updates; they only turned into more general news when HOTD info ran dry. I'll leave it up to you. If you want me to continue these monthly updates of whatever I find interesting and scans of the covers, let me know in the comments below. Otherwise, I may just post whenever there is big news about one of the series we are directly involved with here.
I'll try to have your monthly raws later today.
Dude,I definitely want you to continue the monthly updates coz I think your blog seem to be the most regular and informative, to me atleast, out of all the guys I've seen....

ReplyDeleteScans of the Cover Arts would be Great!
ReplyDeleteContinue the updates if it doesn't bother you. By the way when is the next Triage X chapter
ReplyDeleteI'm going to donate money to you soon. This blog of yours has been my hotd lifeline during the 2 year hiatus.
ReplyDeleteAt last, HSOTD is back in action!
ReplyDeleteThank you to those of you who spoke kindly and suggested I continue these monthly updates. I know you are only a small part of the readership, but I think you represent a larger voice.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is, I enjoy doing this stuff too much to stop now. I'll continue doing it whether there is a high demand for it or not. And, of course, it is refreshing to know people enjoy it.
I have been enjoying ur monthly updates for about two years now i will love for it to continue. but i can understand the hard work, time, money u have put in and i appreciate it :) whether u continue to update monthly or a few times a year. Just letting u know u still have a fan and i will continue to be one no matter what and continue to check ur site out. if u feel the need to stop for awhile its fine. Thanks for ur hard work and dedication. :D
ReplyDeletedoes anyone know what happened to the mana saikin cause it seems that only 7 chaoters have been translated to english and you should keep the monthly updates goin theyre interesting and ive found new stuff to read because of it
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, Japanzai is still scanlating it, but they only have a new chapter out every 3-4 months. It's not one of their more popular series. Maybe the anime will boost popularity and encourage them to release more chapters.
DeleteI've been browsing this site every once a month for the past 2 years, It would be a shame to stop that ritual. Continue the updates just to keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteI like having news about it. I think it is the hope of seeing in enormous letters that HOTD is back...but if it is kinda boring for you it's fine for me I guess. I just really wanted new scans of triage x too...lucky me there will be translated versions on sale on my country later this year... Resuming, You gotta do what you whanna do.
