  • Fairy Tail Heroes Return Once More to Enchant the World of Brave Frontier
    FAIRY TAIL HEROES RETURN ONCE MORE TO ENCHANT THE WORLD OF BRAVE FRONTIER SAN FRANCISCO, ANZ, AND SOUTHEAST ASIA – November 1st, 2018 – gumi Inc. is proud to announce ​ the return of Fairy Tail wizards in Brave Frontier. From November 1st to November 28th, summon ​ ​ ​ ​ brand new Fairy Tail wizards alongside fan favorites such as Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia. The highlights of this collaboration are as follows: 5 New Featured Units: ● Wendy Marvell is a Sky Dragon Slayer who draws her power from the air around her. She excels ​ at healing magic, and is able to cure even wounds inflicted by a dragon. ● Gajeel Redfox, the Iron Dragon Slayer, eating iron allows Gajeel to power up and even change ​ his skin into scales of iron. He also goes by the alias, "Black Steel." ● Acnologia, the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse, is so destructive that the mere mention of his ​ name is terror itself. In times long past, it was said that he was capable of single-handedly annihilating a nation and he could wipe islands off the map with but a roar. The Black Wizard, Zeref, has dubbed him "the most dangerous dragon". ● Zeref was cursed with Ankhseram Black Magic, causing him to become immortal. Also known as ​ the "Curse of Contradiction", the more the cursed person values life, the more death energy is released, eventually killing that source of life. ● Mavis Vermilion is one of the founders of the wizard guild Fairy Tail, as well as its First Master. In ​ ​ the past, she cast an incomplete spell in order to rescue her comrades; as a result, her body was rendered unable to grow or mature.

  • Introduction to Manga for Librarians
    PRESENTS AN INTRODUCTION TO MANGA FOR LIBRARIANS In cooperation with Hello, we’re We’re extremely excited to now have our entire digital book list available to libraries through OverDrive. Kodansha is one of the leading publishers in Japan, and one of the largest in the world. While we are a general publisher, we are also one of the major publishers of Japanese comics, or manga, with a long and distinguished history of releasing some the most popular titles in the world, including such classics as Sailor Moon, Akira, and most recently, Attack on Titan. This brief introduction covers manga titles available from our U.S.-based manga imprint, Kodansha Comics, which publishes selected manga from our broader Japanese list into the English-reading world. While the wide variety of genres (for all audiences) and long, complex storylines of manga can be bewildering for the uninitiated, we hope to break down some basic concepts here. In particular, we hope you take away from here a few key points about manga, and in particular digital manga, if you’re not familiar with them already: MANGA ARE THE KIND OF COMICS YOUNG WOMEN LIKE TO READ. Unlike most Western comics, manga is made for all categories, catering to all audiences, from young children to adults, girls and boys. In particular, manga has exposed the stereotype in North America that girls don’t like comics and are often the preferred type of comics young women like to read. MANGA SPEAKS TO TEENS. That said, teenagers are the core demographic of manga in the West.
