Yen Press [General Thread]

[ToAruOni]

Holidays at Yen Press were capped off by a whole slew of new license offers. I think we'll be bringing folks scads of joy in 2013!

Here's to hoping they picked up Madoka ~ Different Story.

Props once again to ultimatemegax on finding this.

Another (manga) will indeed be a 4-volume in 1 release (recently solicited on Hachette Book Group). Full details

Actually on omnibus releases, do we know how Umineko Episode 2 will be handled yet?

It's 5 volumes in Japan, so I imagine it'd be a 2/3 format. But I don't think I've seen anything that could directly indicate as such yet, despite both listings being up.

Ah, that was actually brought up in the same thread. The two omnibus of Episode 2 will be released as two-and-a-half volumes each.

Now I wonder how the color inserts/unused covers would be split up.

Unless they just forgo having any color insert at the beginning of Omnibus 2.

Thermae romae is ending in March, with 6 volumes probably so 2 more omnibuses to go from yen.

Yen Press 'New Releases' page on their website now updated through October solicitations. Only given a cursory glance (it's late, I'm tired...I'll dissect it better tomorrow), though I don't see anything completely new/previously unsolicited.

Does anybody know why volume 7 of Sunshine Sketch has an MSRP of $16.99?
That is $5 more than the last volume. It is also $5 more than other similar releases, such as K-On! High School and College.
I checked Amazon, Right Stuf, and Yen and found nothing to indicate that it was not a standard 112 page paperback, just like the previous volumes.

I had planned to order this for the current Yen sale at Right Stuf, but now I am going to wait until I find out why it is so expensive.
It is not being released until September so there will be another Yen sale before then.
