An ICv2 Release.  ICv2 has announced the release of the ICv2 Retailers Guide to Anime/Manga #8, which is being distributed to the trade by Diamond Comic Distributors, Alliance Game Distributors, Koen Book Distributors, FM International, TMZ Distribution, and more. 

On the manga side of the magazine, we look at the growing competition for manga dollars from new and existing publishers, list the Top 50 Manga Properties, and look at the top new releases for the fourth quarter. 

On the anime side, we note the search for the next big thing, detail the anime on American TV driving sales, list the Top 25 Anime Properties, look at the top new releases for Q4, and note the products that retailers are stocking for the holidays. 

This great tool is available free to retailers, simply by requesting it at Dviau@ICv2.com.  It's available for a small charge to non-retailers through the ICv2 online store (click here).
