VIZ Media announced that it will release Junjo Ito’s first work, the new series by the Death Note creators, and continuations of two series of upscale products at Anime Boston last weekend.
VIZ will collect Tomie, horror master Junjo Ito’s first manga series, into a single omnibus hardcover, Tomie: Complete Deluxe Edition, for release Winter 2016. The packaging will match the VIZ hardcover editions of two previously released Junjo Ito titles, Gyo and Uzumaki.
Tomie has been out of print since its publication by ComicsOne in 2001, while Ito’s work has become better known in North America.
VIZ will launch Platinum End, the latest series by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, the creative team behind Death Note, this Fall. The story follows a middle school boy whose meeting with an angel gives him hope, but he’s pitted against 12 other humans to become the next god of the world.
And VIZ will also continue two series of upscale products. Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Part 3 – Stardust Crusaders, Vol. 1, the next hardcover deluxe edition with color pages and new cover art, will be released this Fall. One Piece Box Set 3, with an exclusive 48-page minicomic and double-side poster, will also be released this Fall.
