Vertical Comics license Kizumonogatari and Seraph of the End light novels, Ninja Slayer manga

Written by A. H. on 15 Feb 2015



Maryland in America's Katsucon convention has been taking place this weekend, and by far the biggest announcements to emerge from the show have come courtesy of Vertical Comics, who had three big new license announcements to unveil.

Easily topping the bill is Kizumonogatari, the first in Nisio Isin's popular series of light novels revolving around young man turned vampire Koyomi Araragi. The publisher has only licensed this particular story from the series at the time of writing, but it's expected to be released in English this November.

Another light novel addition is Seraph of the End, a light novel prequel to the manga of the same name offering the back story to this dark fantasy series. This light novel series will be released as omnibus editions at an unannounced date.

Finally, we have a new manga license in the form of Ninja Slayer, a cyberpunk sci-fi series which will be enjoying an anime adaptation from studio Trigger this spring. The story takes in a salaryman turned possessed ninja who seeks vengeance for the death of his wife and child following their death in a turf war between ninja clans.

Are you looking forward to any of these releases? Let us know in the comments!
