Kodansha Comics has had a very good run of series that they’ve picked up in the last year or so that have found themselves with anime adaptations. Curious, isn’t it? Anyway, the publisher is taking advantage of those summer series about to end and are now offering up the manga for them that they’ve release so far on sale through ComiXology. There are six titles that are available where the pricing is set to $5.99 per volume, which is almost half off their current pricing both digitally and in print, if it’s getting a print volume release at all.
The sale runs through September 25th, 2017.

As the generals of Turkiye’s council cry for war, Mahmut comes to discover the devious truth behind the assassination! Thus the young pasha’s battle for his country, peace and trust in his fellow man begins!
Aho-Girl: Equal parts cute, silly, and subversive, the four-panel comedy manga Ahogaru was a surprise hit in Japan. Fans of anarchic slice-of-life gag manga like Azumanga Daioh – these are the new laughs you’ve been waiting for! Yoshiko is a hopefully clueless high school girl. Her rock-paper-scissors strategy is “rock.” She somehow gets zeroes on multiple-choice tests. And she has an often-nearly-fatal weakness for bananas. Her devoted friends have no choice but to hang around and make sure nobody takes advantage of her. (Of course, the entertainment value might have something to do with it, too.) Cute characters, weird gags, and lots and lots of bananas!
Love and Lies: Yukari is dull. He doesn’t even stand out enough to be bullied – he’s just a generally lower-middle-class kid. He’s in love with Misaki, the most popular girl in school. There’s just one problem: He’s 15, one year away from receiving his government-assigned marriage partner. He normally wouldn’t have the courage to defy the law, but his sickly classmate Ririna still believes in love, and won’t stop goading him into confessing his feelings!
