So I am certain a few of you have heard by now, but here is some news for the rest of you all…

Over the weekend Vertical, Inc. launched a new imprint, our first actually. Vertical Comics is our manga and anime-themed publishing line. So from here on out all new manga and art books will carry the VC logo.

Why the change? Well, we actually have been thinking about this for a long time now. The brand has grown a lot over the last 4 years and at the same time it has changed a lot. And while during that change many things have improved, we also have struggled to develop our core - novels, non-fiction and lifestyle books.

With the new VC line manga readers will continue to see more of the same Vertical content and quality; while Vertical proper can come back to once again be the vanguard for translated Japanese prose in North America.

Two lines - One Vertical path - And a Large Healthy Community Supporting Us As We Move Forward

So welcome Vertical Comics your home for the following (and eventually, much much more):

Witchcraft Works
Garden of Words
Prophecy
My Neighbor Seki
Dream Fossil: The Complete Shorts of Satoshi Kon
The Art of Makoto Shinkai: A SKY LONGING FOR MEMORIES

(For consistency purposes all currently running titles will retain the original Vertical logo as long as they are released in their current formats.)
