The Friday morning edition of the Asahi Shimbun paper presented nine full-page spreads featuring Eiichiro Oda's One Piece characters, along with advertisements for the Shonen Jump magazine. The advertisements commemorate the release of the manga's 56th volume, which shipped on Friday with a record-setting print run of 2.85 million copies.
The 10th One Piece movie, One Piece Film Strong World, will open in Japanese theaters on December 12.
Viz Media publishes the manga in North America, and Funimation is releasing the television anime adaptation on DVD and via online streaming.

Review: Final Fantasy XIII-2
"Rather than reinvent its predecessor, Final Fantasy XIII-2 just improves its ideas in smaller ways. It's more casually enjoyable than Final Fantasy XIII, but it's still unsatisfying in the long run." Check out Todd Ciolek's verdict on the latest in the long-running franchise now.

Only Serious About You GN 2The strength of Only Serious About You lies in its depiction of not just two men coming together, but in the formation of a family.

Ouran High School Host Club GN 17There is but one volume remaining to Ouran High School Host Club, and it has been a fun ride. While this book doesn't quite live up the earlier ones in terms of pure, lighthearted enjoyment, it is still solidly entertaining.
Cage of Eden GN 2 & 3
Cage of Eden has all of the elements of a classic survival epic – monsters, diseases, an unfriendly wilderness with no perceived escape, and our own ability as humans to lie. While it can be laid on a bit thick at times, and the fanservice or treatment of the adult female characters may be objectionable to some, Yamada's story is an engrossing one.

A perverted young man becomes the master to a sexy, emotionally stunted, angel-like android with frightening power in this 2009 harem series. Though occasionally good, the series much more often wallows in crass stupidity.
Blue Exorcist DVD 2
Nothing here shakes up the series the way parts of the last volume did, but it's consummate entertainment nonetheless: slick and effortlessly propulsive, yet still respectful of its audience and characters.
