Even though we’ve already entered the major manga news period known as convention season, Yen Press is showing they won’t be confined by what we traditionally expect for announcements. Tonight – just after midnight here in the Northern East Coast – they suddenly announced a new license via Twitter:
Bloody Cross – Shiwo Komeyama
The story is about a half-vampire, half-angel (messy combination!) who seeks the power of a special book that is rumoured to be able to cure her. On the way she becomes tangled in a war where other special individuals compete to gather items that will allow them to ascend to the position of ‘God’.
Bloody Cross is currently eight volumes in Japan, and on-going. There are no further details from Yen Press at this time to indicate whether the series will be released as single volumes or multi-book omnibus. Six volumes have already been released in French by Ki-oon.
When asked about announcing this license via Twitter, the Yen Press representative replied with “That’s how we know if you’re paying attention.”. Always, Yen Press, always!
In other Yen Press news, the company is currently seeking to hire a new Editorial Assistant, while RightStuf is having a sale on their books until April 29th.

Sounds really intresting. I’ll have to collect that series for sure :3 Did yen press say anything about the month or anything at all? Or nothing yet for that too?
Nothing yet! But these information usually comes out pretty soon after, or at least when the retailer info goes up, so I imagine we’ll know soon.
