Dark Horse is launching several manga and manwha series this summer, including an unedited version of MPD-Psycho in June and the 2003 'Manhwa of the Year' winner in Korea, Chunchu: The Genocide Fiend in August.

 

MPD-Psycho, the 11-volume manga by Sho-u Tajima and Eiji Otsuka (Kurasgo Corpse Delivery Service), was originally licensed by another U.S. publisher which chose not to publish because of concerns over the content.  Dark Horse will publish the series (for readers 18 and up) without edits beginning in June.  MPD-Psycho follows the adventures of a police detective with Multiple Personality Disorder.

 

Also launching in June is XS Hybrid, a manhwa by S. Ji-Hyung (Til Death Do Us Part) for readers ages 16 and up.  The futuristic story features a beautiful tom-boy with mysterious psychic powers.

 

August will bring a shojo manga, Translucent, by Kazuhiro Okamoto for readers 8 and up.  In Translucent, the protagonist is afflicted with the tendency to become invisible.

 

Also in August, Dark Horse will present the award-winning Chunchu: The Genocide Fiend, by Kim Sung Jae and Kim Byung Jin, for readers 16 and up. Cunchu follows the challenges of a cursed twin born to an emperor.
