Viz Books December 2024 Reviews and Updates
Viz is known for its wide range of manga releases, but the publishing company has been expanding its offerings to include light novels, memoirs, and more. This December, readers can look forward to two new releases in addition to the ongoing manga series.
Studio Ghibli: Architecture in Animation is a non-manga addition to the Viz books lineup for December. This hardcover book is a must-have for Studio Ghibli fans, as it offers a glimpse into the design work, interviews, and behind-the-scenes commentary from the iconic studio. One of the highlights of the book is a discussion between Hayao Miyazaki and architectural historian Terunobu Fujimori, covering topics like life, grief, history, and architecture. Fans of Ghibli will also appreciate the in-depth look at the inspirations behind the studio’s iconic buildings and the real-world architectural wonders that influenced them. Studio Ghibli: Architecture in Animation will be available for purchase on December 3.
Another exciting release coming in December is Rainbows After Storms Vol. 1, a new manga by Luka Kobachi. The story follows best friends Nanoha and Chidori, who are also secretly dating. The manga explores their efforts to keep their relationship under wraps, despite being part of a close-knit friend group. The first volume of Rainbows After Storms offers a laid-back slice-of-life experience with a focus on the sweet and wholesome aspects of their romance. While the stakes may increase in future volumes, readers can enjoy a light-hearted rom-com in this initial installment. Rainbows After Storms Vol. 1 will be released on December 10.
In addition to these new releases, Viz continues to provide readers with a diverse selection of titles each month. Whether you’re a fan of manga, light novels, or memoirs, there’s something for everyone in Viz’s December lineup.
