I just learned of this manga anthology being published in the US/Canada (I bought a copy at Coles/Indigo Books). The second issue (September) is out.

Yen Press publishes this amazing anthology! It is half manhwa, half manga (both presented in their original form, not flipped... halfway through the book there's a reminder to turn the mag on its 'back' to read the Japanese half). It also includes the American author of DramaCon's newest manga Nightschool.

So were others aware of this or am I behind, ahah? I just saw that no one had mentioned it here on the forums.

For discussion: Do you like manga anthologies, and do you think there should be more of them assembled in North America (/Europe/whereever you are that is not Korea/Japan).

Also, if you've read Yen Plus or any of the manga it features monthly, waddya think? Personally, aha, I find Jack Frost is like a Korean version of Hellsing (of course they're different but also really similar. I still like both).

[color=purple]I just saw a copy at Waldons and was like: Finally! a non-Shonen Jump/Shojo Beat anthology, and one that has Manhwa in it to boot. I was actually hoping this thread would tell me if it would be worth the $50 to subscribe to it. Does anyone have any neg/pos things to say about it?[/color]

I've read up to issue 2, pretty good. I like how they try to include a variety of genres for a wider demographic, and how they put OEL (?) so they can reach a bigger market.

My favourite are Nabari no Ou (of course! XD), and Nightschool (from the author of Dramacon). I also liked Pig Bride and Saraha (sp?), they were okay.

I found mine at Chapters. 😀
