Yen Press Announces New Licenses at New York Comic Con
NEW YORK, NY (10/14/2013) — This weekend at New York Comic Con, Yen Press, the graphic novel imprint of Hachette Book Group, announced several new licenses from Japan and Korea at their panel.
Void's Enigmatic Mansion, based on the novel by JiEun Ha with art by Hee-eun Kim, relates the tales of the tenants of a mysterious house whose wishes may be granted, though not always with the results they had hoped for. It will be serialized monthly beginning in October 2013, each chapter released in English digitally simultaneous to the Korean publication from Haksan Publishing.
Ani-Imo by Haruko Kurumatani is the first of three new licenses representing the beginning of a licensing relationship between Yen Press and Kodansha in Japan. When sweet and docile Hikaru swaps bodies with her beloved twin brother, Youta, her personality does a complete 180, and she starts taking brotherly affection to a whole new level. Will Youta ever get his body back? This gender bending comedy debuts in 2014.
He's My Only Vampire by Aya Shouoto is a seductive paranormal romance that demonstrates that love can have a way of coming back and biting you – in the neck. It's a lesson that Kana Takachiko learns all too well through her relationship with aki, her childhood friend and pureblood vampire
From the pen of the master of Gothic suspense, Kaori Yuki, comes Demon from a Foreign Land, a period fantasy steeped in black magic. When Sorato is orphaned following an earthquake, he quickly becomes ensnared in the dark secrets of the estate that becomes his new home.
