Viz Media license JoJo's Bizarre Adventures: Battle Tendency manga

Having announced their license of its first part, Phantom Blood, in manga form just last month, manga publisher Viz Media continues down to the road of embracing JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by confirming that they have also now licensed its second part, Battle Tendency.

This second part of the long-running series is due to arrive digitally in March 2015 - there is no news of a physical release at this time, but we'd imagine it'll appear later in 2015.

This release will following the print release of Phantom Blood in February 2015, which will arrive as a Deluxe Edition complete with colour pages and new cover art following a digital release this September. Alongside this, the third previously licensed part of the series, Stardust Crusaders, will be re-released digitally starting this month with new volumes appearing each week.

Also announced by Viz Media at their Anime Expo panel in the US is Requiem of the Rose King, a fantasy story which adapt's William Shakespeare's Richard III. There's no confirmed release date for the first volume of this series at present.

Finally, the publisher also confirmed that they will be re-releasing both Gyo and Yu-Gi-Oh! as omnibus editions at unspecified future dates.
