Comic Con News:  At the San Diego Comic-Con Yen Press announced a number of new manga series as well as a graphic novel adaptation of Ransom Riggs’ #1 New York Times bestseller Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.  Yen will publish a single-volume graphic novel adaptation of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children in 2013.

 

The manga series announced by Yen at Comic-Con include BTOOM!, a debut manga series from Junya Inoue about an online game play who suddenly wakes up in a real life version of the game that was originally published in the seinen anthology Weekly Comic Bunch.

 

Yen will also publish as a "digital exclusive" Pon Watanabe’s 2-volume manga memoir Welcome to the Erotic Bookstore.  The first volume will be available (digital only) in the winter of 2012.

 

Yukito Ayatsuji’s duo of horror/mystery novels, which are entitled Another, will also be released as digital exclusives, but Hiro Kiyohara’s manga adaptation, which was released in Japan in four tankoubon (trade paperbacks), will be issued by Yen in a single-volume omnibus edition. 

 

Yen is also prepping a one-volume graphic novel adaptation of Brent Weeks’ bestselling epic fantasy novel, Way of the Shadows, for release in 2013.
