So... we had a quiet summer. Things will probably continue to be quiet, but there are still plans ahead.
In concert with Entropy's major Halloween release, we are bringing forth another trio of
Goodnight Punpun chapters, which brings us to the halfway point of Volume 2.
In addition, I am
verrrrry pleased to finally announce the release of the first section of a very impressive project which has been in plans for years,
Ranman, from Shinkichi Kato of National Quiz and Baka & Gogh fame. Some of you with long memories may recall a blurb or two about this in the past, but rest assured you have never seen anything like this book in manga, and you have never seen such incredible art. This is the first of four sections in the book, and barbapapa and I will be following this up with more work on Baka & Gogh and Ranman, if everything goes well.
Other near-term goals include more H2 and Punpun. Some other projects will probably be continued, depending on whether or not the staff has time for them.
I've done more work on Ressentiment but am having trouble contacting the editor.
Pluto was licensed and is dropped.
Bokurano and Homunculus are dropped.
Rumors are stirring about Children of the Sea, so we've stopped working on that for the time being.
Happy is probably gone.
I want to continue with Noramimi.
Vinland Saga has been continued way past our current point by other people and will only be released by us if cjd still wants to scan/edit it.
I'm not sure about our plans for Ciguatera/Boku to Issho.
So, there you have it.

Another update, another goal reached. After several years of very slow output, we've finally reached the end of
Japan Tengu Party Illustrated, our magnificent, compact epic. Petr and I really loved working on this masterpiece, and for a little commemoration, we've slapped the noble Master up top in our banner. If you've been following since the beginning, thanks for sticking with us. If you've never read a page of it yet, now is the perfect time to start. And don't forget that if you enjoyed this, there's also
Nasu, which you can find completed in our Projects section.
Meanwhile, work has also begun on
Goodnight Punpun Volume 2, which will see its first release today with Chapters 13-15. What happens with Punpun's pee?!?!?!

It's been a while, eh? Such things happen.
Today, we're here to wrap up two volumes for you! Popular volumes! Let's find out what's behind door number one and two.
#1:
Children of the Sea Volume 1, Chapters 7-8: We told you these books were big, and here's the proof. Chapter 8 wraps up Volume 1 at well over 300 pages in length, and Volume 2 will be just as long when we get through with it. There will be plenty more to come.
#2:
Ciguatera Volume 4, Chapters 43-46: More drama and more eccentric characters, Minoru Furuya style. The staff here is buzzing over the announcement of his next upcoming series, which promises to be more of the same. We'll find out!
Also, coming soon: more H2 and the end of Japan Tengu Party Illustrated.

Hello everyone, Ian Smith here, I founded Mangascreener back in the 1990's in case you don't remember me. Anyways, I've been unemployed since April and I'm heading to Tokyo for a couple months in June, so for the dual purpose of cleaning out my closet and lining my pockets I'm putting a bunch of manga up on eBay.
Please make sure to
check out my eBay auctions, right now I've got lots of Beck, Katteni Kaizo, Bastard!!, Blade of the Immortal, Shonan Jun'ai Gumi, Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! and many more running, all starting at just one dollar. I'll be auctioning off a couple hundred more volumes of manga, artbooks, dvds and Japanese CDs over the next couple of weeks.
Sorry for the shameless advertisement, maybe when I get back from Japan my Japanese will be good enough to help out with the translation of some of our old series.
