GEN Manga is available in English, Japanese and, now, Portuguese, too!
NEW YORK, NY – Gen Manga Entertainment, Inc. announces a new publishing deal with Editora Abril for distribution in Brazil. Under the guidance of GEN Manga's exclusive publishing and licensing agent in Brazil, Angelotti Licensing, Portuguese language versions of GEN Manga's titles will start hitting the shelves in Brazil this summer.
“We are thrilled to partner with Editora Abril to bring Portuguese translations of our stories to manga fans all over Brazil. We're always doing our best to get closer to our readers and deliver what they love most in the formats they enjoy,” says Robert McGuire, Editor-in-Chief of GEN Manga.
“Our worldwide publishing and licensing program is quickly expanding. It's exciting to know our wide range of popular story genres and fun characters will now be distributed directly to manga fans via Editora Abril's impressive distribution channels across Brazil,” says Jonathan Sirota, Publisher of GEN Manga.
GEN Manga is known as, “America's #1 source for original underground Japanese manga!” The stories are created by elusive doujincreators in Japan's secret underground circles and are published by nobody else in the world.
AnimeNation.com says GEN Manga is a “must-read primer of Japanese alternative, underground, and seinen drama manga for introspective and literate young adult readers.” & “GEN is a rewarding and satisfying peek into the beating heart of contemporary Japanese manga culture, revealing creative and provocative stories from grassroots Japanese artists.” (June 18th 2012)
The Editora Abril deal covers all of GEN Manga's stories to-date, including WOLF; VS. ALIENS; KAMEN; SOULS; SORAKO, ALIVE; GOOD-BYE GEIST; LET'S EAT RAMEN; ANOMAL; STONES OF POWER; ONE IS ENOUGH; and ANDROID ANGELS.
