VIZ Acquires Tiger & Bunny Manga and More!

VIZ announced today that they had acquired the rights to the Tiger & Bunny Manga series, as well as Sunny and Pepita. They also announced they were going to do physical releases of Barrage and Ruroni Kenshin: Restoration, both of which have been part of SJ Alpha.

I for one look forward to picking up Tiger & Bunny, may give the new Kenshin a shot, although I here its kind of "meh" compared to the original.

Definitely, definitely buying the Kenshin Restoration physical release, since I already have the VizBigs for the entire original series, as well as the Profiles book (still need the actual novel, and wish they'd put out the second Profiles). I was about to go 'HELL YEAH' for the Tiger & Bunny manga too, but this is the main series and not the one-shot Katsura did I'm fairly sure, so...it can wait until I've seen the anime.

Will definitely be buying Ruroni Kenshin: Restoration and i'm interested in Barrage so i'll give it a go since it's only 2 volumes.

Looks like they got the 4-panel book as well, though I'm not sure that's to what you were referring.

Only thing I'm mildly interested in is the new Kenshin.

Nah, not sure who did the 4-panel stuff (I'm assuming the main manga's artist), but there's also a one-shot chapter drawn by Masakazu Katsura (the man who did the original character design for the show itself). That's the main thing I'd want, since I'm a huge fan of that artist.
