Dark Horse Comics has a long history of publishing such great Japanese comics as Akira and Lone Wolf and Cub. Now, they bring Japanese manga to a larger audience in this anthology series which showcases a variety of popular stories. Some of Japan’s most popular titles are translated into English for the first time and presented in a thick, traditional Japanese format weighing in at over 120 pages each issue! Highlights include early Oh My Goddess! stories not included in the original series from Dark Horse. Learn about the secret lives of cats in the hilarious What’s Michael? Follow the adventures of the immortal Pai as she searches for her humanity in 3x3 Eyes. And delight in science fiction epics Shadow Star and Seraphic Feather each published for the first time in the U.S. This is the perfect comics anthology for manga fans or those who have never experienced this superb, highly influential, Japanese art form and are looking for a great place to start.
