Vernieda Vergara writes: “What a year 2021 has been. In the manga arena, explosive sales led to empty retail shelves and reprints that—due to paper shortages, printer consolidations, and supply chain disruptions—were slow to come. These challenges stand poised to follow us into 2022, so if you like your manga in print, be prepared to buy your favorite titles the instant you see them in stock. These new 2022 manga titles have something for everyone: classic science fiction, heist capers, contemporary queer stories, and the supernatural fare that’s all the rage these days.”
