Digital Manga has announced three new manga titles on its Website.  Tenka Musou is a sixteenth century ninja fantasy inspired by the life of Hattori Hanzo that was made into a live action saga starring Sonny Chiba, which was one of the inspirations for Kill Bill (though in an interesting twist the protagonist of Tenka Musou is female).  In contrast, the second title, Cafe Kichijouji de is based on a popular Japanese radio drama about a restaurant run by a group of hot-headed misfits; while the third new series, Seiyou Kotto Yougashiten concerns the travails of a gay pastry chef and bon vivant, who just may be working for the one man in his life who rejected him.

Digital Manga co-publishes a number of best-selling manga with Dark Horse (Trigun, Hellsing, Berserk.), has begun releasing a manga line under its own imprint, will publish books with Penguin (see 'Penguin To Join Manga Fray'), and plans a series of Edu-Manga biographies (see 'Digital Manga Preps Educational Line').
