Chavez also confirmed that Vertical will release several non-manga books. They include: the novel Edge by Koji Suzuki, the author of Ringu, to be published in October; a cookbook called Reel Cuisine: Blockbuster Dishes from the Silver Screen by Nami Iijima, in November; and a novel called Body by Asa Nonami in December.
Next year will see the publication of a new translation for Enma the Immortal by Fumi Nakamura, in April. The novel was the winner of the 2011 Golden Elephant award.
