Titan Books UK plan manga-related releases in April

[Paul]

With all the anime coming out in the UK these days, it's easy to over-look the UK manga industry which appears to be going from strength to strength.

Since Tanoshimi, Tokyopop and Gollancz have all established themselves during the last few years, it's no wonder other book publishers are starting to take note too - one of which is Titan Books, who come 27th April, will be releasing several manga-related books; the first two volumes of Oh My Goddess! along with Eden, OEL manga MegaTokyo vol. 4 and a new revision of the informative Anime Encyclopedia by the UK's own Jonathan Clements and Helen McCarthy.

Snap, I've read some of the fansubs upto a certain volume but i would much rather have it properly done to give it some justice.

While the Elfen Lied manga was fun think the Gantz manga would rock more.

I think they both would but I wish someone would hurry up and bring them out over here. They could make a good profit if they did.

It will probably never get released here, same with Gantz. v_v

I would rather see the CLub to Death angel, Dokuro-chan manga but there's little hope in that since there's no sign of the anime yet or any hope that it might ever get a release.

I think Dokuro-chan is based on a novel rather than a manga and the manga was created from the same source, a bit like the Seikai trilogy. I would like to see both, though, anime and manga. Dokuro-chan is just full of fun . I think it would completely fail for most people however, given the overall connotations of the story, much like DearS put a lot of people off because of the context of that story. Too many people aren't willing to read beyond one or two words to see what lies underneath. Others just don't like vicious temperamental angel girls with big spiked clubs :evil:.
