Ahem– perhaps I should get this done so I can get packing, eh? Luckily it’ll be pretty short and sweet:

Manga:
- The Harvey Award finalists were announced today (via Simon), and among the “Best Edition of Foreign Material” nominees are Manga Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet, a UK-produced manga, and Witchblade (pictured), the manga based on the…original American comic. (Unrelatedly– the Perry Bible Fellowship got a nom for best online comic, woohoo!)

Games:
- DS Fanboy notes that although Square Enix may be producing its own Soul Eater game for the Wii, Squenix has granted the license to Namco Bandai for a Nintendo DS game based on the series. Both games are 3D hack’n’slashes.

Figures:
- Okay, this Nagi Sanzenin figure (from Combat Butler Hayate) is pretty awesome– but where’s my figure of Hayate in drag?!
