A New Great Read From VIZ Media's Signature Imprint - WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

VIZ Media expands its notable VIZ Signature manga imprint with the publication of Inio Asano’s WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD! on October 20th. The 2-volume series (each sold separately but launch simultaneously) is rated ‘T+’ for Older Teens and will carry an MSRP of $12.99 U.S. / $16.99 CAN.

A poignant collection of intersecting vignettes depicting twenty-something angst, WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD! explores the various ways that modern life can be at once ridiculous and sublime, terrible and precious, wasted and celebrated. In Volume 1, what begins with a college dropout bored of her mediocre routine soon becomes a fantastic series of stories about the unexpected ways that different lives intersect. Filled with magical realism in the face of the cold reality of daily modern life, at their core these stories are about young people discovering something precious amidst the chaos of existence. Volume 2 explores similar themes including the cruelty of childhood, the delusion of adulthood, the permanence of death, and how people find a way to remain resolute and laugh in the face of reality.

For more information, see the full Press Release.

INUYASHA THE FINAL ACT Begins

The same. Exact. Day.

And on top of that, FREE. Pretty darned good deal, IMHO.

Stuff like this just doesn’t happen with the snap of your fingers. It takes a tremendous amount of effort from a dedicated team of people working to extremely tight deadlines to coordinate an international effort like this. I know the crew up in the Animation department has been working like frenzied beavers to make this happen, and my hat is off to them. Getting RIN-NE out simultaneously with the Japan release is a hectic job, so I certainly appreciate what our Animation and Licensing teams have accomplished here.

And if you're looking to catch up on the preceding series, INUYASHA, check out these classic episodes on ShonenSunday.com/anime. Head to Shonen Sunday's INUYASHA series page for information on buying books, DVDs, and digital downloads. You can head to The Rumic World for synopsis information and a character guide too.

I’m gonna go have a look now myself. I’ll put my reactions up in a future post.

One more thing, we also have an online preview of Mermaid Saga, a great horror series by Rumiko Takahashi. Check it out.
