Yuki Kaori has a new series out

[owlectomy]

Yuki Kaori's new series, Orchestre Royale de Guignols, is about cannibalistic zombies referred to as Guignols for reasons that are not yet entirely clear; and also a quasi-string-trio (well -- a cello, a violin, and a singer who plays the accordion) who dress as over-the-top-gothed-out as any of Yuki Kaori's characters. I saw it on the new-releases table at Asahiya today and bought it out of no more impulse than, "I can read the latest Yuki Kaori weirdness before the rest of English-speaking fandom!" -- though there are scanlations around, I would assume. Perhaps I'll have more to say when I'm finished; I'm really starting to find Yuki's pages way too busy to follow what's going on.

(What has Kinokuniya done with their light novel section? And does Asahiya still get any light-novel magazines? I walked away much disappointed. What's the point of living in New York if I have to mail-order?)
