A Guide to SIGIKKI
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010I have no idea whether Viz’s imprint SIGIKKI has been successful. The steady increase of titles suggests something positive, and the return from that worrying hiatus is a relief, but a braying part of me is anxious that it may fade into obscurity, forever destined to be a faint nostalgia pang of what could’ve been.
Thus, to ignite old fires, guide new eyes and generally make a bit of a fuss of what is wholly a seinen manga fan’s wet dream I have constructed this guide for your perusal. A brief overview of each available series peppered with flimsy analysis and crude opinion, all based on what’s currently available at the SIGIKKI site.
And because I’m covering all the (main) series available on the site, and that’s going to make this entry pretty monumental, here’s a handy contents list to cherry pick the book of your choice. There’s also a wee ‘back to the top’ link at the end of each entry that will bring you back here for further browsing.
