So... Like... Is this a comic from Korea or an American comic drawn by a Korean?

Because the article says "manwha", but I get the impression that it's the latter.


I imagine it'll be done like Maximum Ride- made for an english language audience by a Korean artist. They're also publishing a short story by Queenie Chan this month.

Well this is...somewhat unexpected, but interesting. I can't say I care for the art, but it's good to know a company I like as much as Yen Press well be the ones benefiting from such a score.

Now if we could only convince Terry Goodkind to work with someone big name to turn "The Sword of Truth" series into a manga or anime series..

Since its a shoujo manga now, at least the sparkly vampires won't look that stupid Laughing

Also, how the hell has this gotten a manga while books like Harry Potter have not? thats bullcrap man Evil or Very Mad

And this is where I join you.

But oh well, while I dislike Twilight and all of its hype atleast the fans will be happy. (though I wonder just how many fans will actually read this unless they already liked manga/comics and the like in the first place)

Is it no surprise that when I first read this article, I felt like physically being sick?

This may be a good thing for Yen Press' bank balance, but for humanity it's a nightmare.

VAMPIRES SHOULD BURN IN THE SUN, NOT SPARKLE! *cries*

in fact it would be quite fitting. What's shoujo without sparkles?

If this is serialized in Yen Plus, the magazine will sell out so quickly.

I hope not... Black Butler just started and I want to be able to keep up with that. Confused

I'm an anti as well...
*sigh* They're really just looking for more ways to make more money off this franchise...This wasn't even necessary.
I wanted the hype to die a long,looong time ago. But it looks like that won't be happening. *headesk*

I'm an anti too. I hate Twilight, it destroyed the vampire genre. I wish the hype died along time ago too. I hope the hype dies soon and Twilight will be forgotten like A*Teens, Vanessa Hugdeons and Aaron Carter. I'm really hoping Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (which came out today) will take the spotlight away from Twilight for good. The series sucks, it's completely overrated, and lacks any depth at all to it. And for the last time Stephanie Meyer, VAMPIRES DON'T SPARKLE. AND THEY HAVE FANGS, NOT VENOM-ENCOADED TEETH.
