Here’s the latest on the five new titles announced at AX. Two are by creators of their earlier manga, Crossroad and Cantarella, which bodes well.

GO! COMI ANNOUNCES KAMISAMA KAZOKU, OTHER NEW MANGA LICENSES

June 30 2007

Long Beach, CA

Go! Comi announced five major new manga licenses at its Anime Expo industry panel this weekend. Chief among these is KAMISAMA KAZOKU, the story of a high school student struggling to have an ordinary life and to romance the girl of his dreams, with one major problem: his interfering parents are gods! This shonen series is based on the highly popular anime from Toei, which aired last year in Japan.

The other four licenses are:

A WISE MAN SLEEPS, a mystery/fantasy series from Mick Takeuchi, creator of Go! Comi’s best-selling “Her Majesty’s Dog.” It’s the story of a mysterious jewel, a mysterious boy, and a girl whose hidden power is awakened by them both.

In A.I. REVOLUTION the daughter of a scientist finds herself surrounded on all sides by violent bishonen robots who she must teach to live — and love — like humans. This long-awaited series is a fan favorite.

ANGEL’S COFFIN by You Higuri, creator of Go! Comi’s “Cantarella” (one of YALSA’s “Great Graphic Novels for Teens” of 2007) is a standalone manga about a desperate girl who seeks the help of a god to capture the heart of the man she loves.

CY-BELIEVERS is the new series by Shioko Mizuki, creator of Go! Comi’s highly popular “Crossroad.” When Ryo’s controlling father betroths her to a lecherous upperclassman, her only hope is a club of hot computer geeks!

ABOUT GO! COMI: Go! Comi is known for the excellence of its manga series and top-notch production values. Among its publications are the Bookscan best-sellers Tenshi Ja Nai!! and Her Majesty’s Dog and the Eisner Award-nominated After School Nightmare.
