Yen Press new licenses
chaos •
Yen Press announced today a few new licenses.
First up is one that should come as no surprise to existing fans of Yen’s list but that we are certain will make a lot of readers happy: THE MELANCHOLY OF SUZUMIYA-HARUHI-CHAN! The first volume of the highly anticipated yon koma featuring all new adventures from Haruhi and the rest of the S.O.S. Brigade will debut in October 2010 to the cheers of Haruhi fans everywhere! Yen is absolutely thrilled to be adding this series to its already prodigious lineup of yon koma (4 panel comics).
And speaking of yon koma, we’re going to keep bringing you the hottest properties in November 2010 with the launch of kakifly’s K-ON! The four girls who make up their high school music club have set Japan on fire, and their fame is only going to grow when they take the stage for the first time in the states this fall!
For those who’d rather turn off the music for a while and curl up with a great book, then we’ve got just the book for you when the first installment of Mizuki Nomura’s BUNGAKU SHOUJO novel series reaches a bookstore near you in July 2010. BOOK GIRL AND THE SUICIDAL MIME is the story of Konoha Inoue, a gifted writer who’s lost his passion, who’s inducted into his school’s literature club by it’s only other member, the beautiful Touko Amano – a book goblin who literally devours the printed word! Trust us, you’ll want to eat this one up!
And the segues just keep coming! We’re going from eating books to just…eating! Yoshinaga Fumi fans are in for a rare delicacy in November 2010 when Yen publishes NOT LOVE BUT DELICIOUS FOODS, a manga chronicling Y-Naga’s love of food and eateries in Japan. There are some hardcore Yoshinaga Fumi fans on staff at Yen Press, and they are salivating in anticipation of this book’s release!
