This week's dose of of manga and DVD releases is on the sparse side of things with only a handful of stuff you'll probably care about. Starting off with the stuff you'll probably care about is the box set of the series sequel to the loli assassin anime Gunslinger Girl -Il Teatrino-. For those anime fans out there who love remakes of classic anime, you've got the five volumes of the 2003 remake of Astro Boy.

We've got a couple of first volume manga releases with one of them from Fumi Yoshinaga, the award winning author of Antique Bakery, is Ooku, a manga about not having enough men to go around in Edo period Japan. So what do they do? They gather all the pretty men and send them to serve in the Shogun's Inner Chamber. The other first volume manga this week is a martial arts manga called The Battle of Genryu, which is about another teenage boy who finds out he has super martial arts abilities but also learns that he has these powers only for a day once a month.

Hit the jump for this week's meager release list!
