ADV has confirmed (see 'ADV Nabs Yugo the Negotiator') the acquisition of the anime Yugo the Negotiator, and scheduled release of the first of four DVD volumes for July.  ADV will also release the film on the Anime Network. 

 

Yugo the Negotiator is based on the manga by Shinji Makari and Shuu Akana.  Unlike most anime (and manga), Yugo is set in a real world milieu.  It tells the story of Yugo, a private negotiator who is called to help secure the release of a hostage in Pakistan by his beautiful daughtor.
