New Humble Bundle is up, and it's for:
Humble Book Bundle Science Fiction Manga by Nihei consisting of manga titles by popular mangaka Tsutomu Nihei (
Wikipedia) from Japanese publisher Kodansha.
There are basically two series in it, really:
Blame! (
Wikipedia), a cyberpunk series; and
Knights of Sidonia (
Wikipedia), set in the far future where aliens have destroyed the Earth and humanity now lives on scattered megaspaceships built from its remains.
There's a freebie for Vol. 1 of
NOiSE (a prequel series to
Blame!) if you sign up for the newsletter on the page.
Fixed tiers of $1 (also includes a 1-month subscription to the anime-viewing streaming service Crunchyroll, (
Wikipedia), which may not be available in all countries), $8, and $17, with the prospect of unlocking more bonuses if the total purchases reach specified goal amounts which you will be eligible to receive at the top tier.
The number of items may seem limited, but in fact the top tier contains 15 volumes of KoS, which comprises the complete series. ETA: Vol. 1 was in the previous Kodansha manga HB, in case you want to read it before deciding whether or not you like the story enough to splurge.
Quote:
BLAME the bundle. Behold, Humble's first epic team-up with Tsutomu Nihei and our friends at Kodansha Comics! We've collected some of Nihei's most action-packed science fiction manga for your winter reading. Plus, we're even bundling one month's subscription to Crunchyroll, where you'll have full access to a massive library of manga – and ad-free anime in high definition, too!
Pay $1 or more for a one-month Crunchyroll Subscription and BLAME! Vol. 1.
Pay $8 or more and you’ll also get BLAME! Vol. 2 and BLAME! Academy and So On.
Pay $17 or more for all of that plus Knights of Sidonia, Complete Vol. 1 - 15.
Plus, this bundle's contents will be determined by your contributions—reaching our stretch goals will add new goodies to the $17 tier of the bundle! At $50k, $75k, and $100k, APOSIMZ Prologue, a video bonus, and an art booklet of BLAME! will be added to the bundle, respectively.
You can also get a free copy of NOiSE instantly just by signing up for the Kodansha newsletter!

Also, Groupees has finally sorted out the problems with its
Top Cow Bundle (certain Vol. 1 appearing as #1 issues, missing download files, etc.), which is still on for the next week and very good value for money at the $15 top tier if you are interested in having a substantial chunk of the featured series as TPB vols (and have not previously purchased many of before).
