ALAZE publishing is a manga publishing company bringing some of Japan's best stories to readers in the west. Compared to other publishing companies, ABLAZE is on the newer side. However, this hasn't lessened their quality and output as they cover stories of all genres and demographics.
This fall will see the release of two new manga for readers. The first is titled, Versus Fighting Story and is all about the struggles and competition surrounding e-sports. The manga takes an in-depth look at the sport and is sponsored by Capcom, meaning that real game characters are going to be in the story.
Crueler Than Dead is their second upcoming title and is a classic zombie story in the same style as The Walking Dead. With its stellar artwork, the series looks like something more akin to a Junji Ito story meaning that the horrors within are sure to terrify.
