Yen Press has announced that it will cease publishing the print edition of its manga anthology Yen Plus; the July issue will be its last.  The magazine will continue in online form. 

 

Yen Plus was launched in August 2008 and gave Yen a place to try out new series, but sales were apparently not sufficient to continue.  This leaves Viz’s Shonen Jump as the only ongoing North American manga anthology magazine. 

 

Yen launched successful series such as Maximum Ride and Black Butler in the pages of the magazine; the company plans to use its new online Yen Plus for that function in the future.
