New Humble Bundles are up, for:
Humble Book Bundle Haikasoru presented by Viz Media containing Japanese science fiction in translation from the animanga publisher's dedicated prose line (
Wikipedia), both in popular franchise series such as Legend of the Galactic Heroes (
Wikipedia), and standalones from prominent individual authors.
This seems a very good deal if you're interested in foreign-language sfnal works, and an auto-buy for me. IIRC the
Saiensu Fikushon mini-anthology has previously been offered in the SFWA or Nebula Showcase bundles, and there's been a previous StoryBundle offering for
The Haikasoru Japan Sci-Fi Bundle with an almost completely different selection, so if you happened to like that, you may wish to try this.
Fixed tiers of $1, $8, $15, and $20 (no new titles added next week).

The bundle in the high castle. Viz Media is back at Humble with a bundle of amazing science fiction books from Haikasoru (meaning "High Castle"), the first imprint dedicated to bringing Japanese science fiction to America and beyond. You'll get stunning stories like Legend of the Galactic Heroes Vol. 1-3, Virus: The Day of Resurrection, The Cage of Zeus, and more!

Monday's HB offering was
Humble Book Bundle Hacking Reloaded presented by No Starch Press containing a variety of specialty computer programming-oriented titles, mainly for security purposes, but also general explanatory and hobbyist stuff like hacking your car's electronics.

Still available is
Humble Book Bundle Treat Yourself presented by Callisto Media containing assorted self-care titles such as cookbooks, fitness manuals, personal wellness, sex advice, and New Age stuff.
Bundle of Holding's new RPG gamebook offering is for
Maelstrom, a vintage 16th century magical Tudor-era fantasy game originally out from Puffin Books in 1984 now reprinted by Arion. This new bundle includes both the reprint gamebooks and supplements, plus two completely brand-new titles not previously offered elsewhere.
Still available for a limited time are the previous bundles for
Lamentations +2 in the
Lamentations of the Flame Princess nightmare fantasy game which is recommended for players 18 and up due to violence and other mature content, and the GURPS science fiction franchise with
GURPS Traveller Wars for MilSF and
GURPS Traveller Essentials for more general sci-fi adventuring.
Finally, a reminder that expiring in the next couple of days is StoryBundle's
Fairytale Fantasy. And the
The Aliens Among Us Bundle and
Light in the Dark YA bundles are still available for a limited time.
