Shueisha will launch a new manga magazine in Japan this summer.
And they promise to remain faithful to the original Japanese manga.
Shueisha and Viz are rebooting both the Japanese and North American versions of Shonen Jump. How will the U.S. version be different?
37 Japanese publishers are collaborating to set up a joint online manga portal for North American distribution.
This week’s Jump magazine gives away a few tiny tidbits about the game.
One more new shounen and shoujo series to Viz’s recent license acquisitions.
But we don’t know who grabbed the rights to publish it.
Despite this, Shueisha are now Japan’s leading manga publisher in terms of revenue.
The coalition believe that their battle isn’t necessarily with scanlators, but with “scanlation aggregators.”
Peter Segal — director on Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult — might be filling the producer’s slot.
