Kodansha Comics has some mainstream titles that they’re getting ready to bring out digitally next month and there are some familiar names there. With the new Back Street Girls anime out it makes a lot of sense to grab the manga and they also grabbed the P to JK manga series. Peach Girl previously saw a release from TOKYOPOP but it’s been out of print for some time that makes it welcome to be made available once more.
