The publishing company, Yen Press, has made a business out of allowing fans to read up on new and unique manga, from the east, in the west. A feat that can be difficult as finding specific stories is nearly impossible when created overseas.
However, readers can always count on companies like Yen Press to deliver on some great stories. Some of the newest acquisitions that will be hitting shelves later this month include many light novels and manga. One manga, Fiance of the Wizard, was created by Syuri Nakamura and illustrated by Masaki Kazuka. An isekai love story that turns the genre on its head is great for fans of the genre looking for something different.
Another new light novel commemorates the 25th anniversary of the series, Final Fantasy I * II * III: Memory of Heroes retells the story of the first three titles in novel form and is penned by Takashi Umemura. I Don't Know How to Give Birth! is a hilarious autobiographical story by Ayami Kazama where readers join her on her journey to figure out life as a new mother.
With so many great series and many more on its way, this month will no doubt have some great content to pick up! Make sure to share your thoughts on the new books in the comments!
