VIZ Media Announces New Manga and Light Novels at C2E2

By Josh PiedraApril 9, 2018

During its official panel discussion held at C2E2, VIZ Media announced the upcoming fall release of FRANKENSTEIN: JUNJI ITO STORY COLLECTION, a retelling of Mary Shelley’s classic monster tale, reimagined by Japan’s master of horror manga. The manga adaptation of the popular Juni Taisen battle royale anime, JUNI TAISEN: ZODIAC WAR, will be available to fans this fall. Also announced were two sci-fi novels based on the bestselling NieR: Automata video game. NIER: AUTOMATA: LONG STORY SHORT (Vol. 1) and NIER: AUTOMATA: SHORT STORY LONG (Vol. 2), created by NieR: Automata’s director Yoko Taro and writer Jun Eishima.

Additional information on each of these titles will be announced in the near future.

FRANKENSTEIN: JUNJI ITO STORY COLLECTION
Story and Art by Junji Ito
Rated ‘T+’ for Older Teens · Debuts Fall 2018

The master of horror manga bends all his skill into bringing the anguished and solitary monster, and the more loathsome beast who created him, to life with the brilliantly detailed chiaroscuro he is known for. Also included is the Oshikiri story cycle – a high school student who lives in a decaying mansion connected to a haunted parallel world. Uncanny doppelgangers, unfortunately murdered friends, and a whole lot more are in store for him.

Rated ‘T+’ for Older Teens · Debuts Fall 2018

Every 12 years, 12 fighters take the form of the Chinese zodiac and engage in a battle royale. With their strength and mysterious powers, they fight to the death and the sole survivor is granted the ultimate prize—any wish.

NIER: AUTOMATA: LONG STORY SHORT (Vol. 1) · Debuts Fall 2018

NIER: AUTOMATA: SHORT STORY LONG (Vol. 2) · Debuts Spring 2019
Written by Jun Eishima

When alien forces invade with an army of Machines, the remnants of humanity must depend on Androids of their own design – the placid 2B and the excitable 9S – to survive.
