April Previews Adult

The following is a list of adult manga and manga-oriented titles, extracted from the full text version of the upcoming Previews Adult catalog (you may download the full file here).  I€™ve linked to product pages and artist websites when available.  Being that adult items aren€™t always carried in depth by retailers, it is important to pre-order these books early.

Books are generally released two months after the Previews issue in which they are solicited.
