Ankama To Publish Original Japanese Manga In FrenchFrench publisher Ankama is an arm of the gaming company of the same name. You know, they created the popular MMORPG Dofus.
So, those are guys with quite a bit of money, as you might have guessed.

So what do software companies with too much money do?

That's right, they publish a comic book.

In Ankama's case, they're going to publish a manga magazine. Featuring original manga work from Japanese creators. In French.

Which is quite the oddity.

The magazine will contain 228 pages of comics, 32 of them in colour, on sale in February for €4.95 , with an initial print run of 38,000.

The magazine will contain 7 series and, as in Shonen Jump, reader response will determine which continue and which get canned.

Initial creators include Midori Hanada, Savan, Kosato, Katsura Takada, Kenta Hashiura, and Shino.

Another big name already announced is the 72 year old anime character designer Shingo Araki of Saint Seiya doing his very first manga.

Here are a few sneak peeks of the upcoming strips;
