Newtype USA Vol.5, #8 (August 2006)

Newtype USA, the leading anime magazine, offers yet another incredible lineup of exclusive features, awesome inserts and in-depth reviews in its August 2006 issue. With eleven eye-popping features, including Fullmetal Alchemist, My-HiME, BLEACH and Gundam SEED Destiny, Newtype USA is the perfect way to beat the heat in these dog days of summer!

Plus, with summer in the USA winding down, Newtype USA gets you ready for fall with a back-to-school special—or, in this case, five anime schools you wish you were going back to! Get an inside look at five of the coolest schools in new anime series, including Mahora Academy (Negima!) and Ninja Academy (Naruto). Or, if you’re eager to hit the books, be sure to check out all 16 of this month’s manga reviews to help navigate to the best choices for you!

The school theme continues with this month’s extras, starting with a kooky centerfold poster starring the wacky cast of Cromartie High School, along with an Angel/Dust neo manga insert and a bonus DVD with three full anime episodes, including Negima!, Papuwa and Grenadier!
