Torrance, CA (June 20, 2003)-- Gutsoon! Entertainment's publishing property, RAIJIN COMICS, is set for a few new changes! September 2003 has been marked as the date when the "weekly" manga anthology will launch into being a monthly magazine.
Featuring a minimum of 16 additional pages to each issue, the monthly will commence with issue #37, and will retail for $5.95, just a $1.00 more than the weekly retailed. Exciting additional editorial changes will also be unveiled over the next few months.
"We pride ourselves on being attentive and responsive to the interests of our readers and subscribers," said Horie Nobuhiko, President and CEO of Gutsoon! Entertainment and its Japan based sister company, Coamix. "Our move from a weekly distribution to a monthly distribution reflects our commitment to providing the highest quality in manga. Based on numerous conversations and extensive research with our readers, subscribers, retailers and distributors, we have been encouraged to move to a monthly magazine, thereby giving readers more time to read all the exciting stories in our magazine, and giving retailers more time and longer shelf dates for the issues to reach the growing number of manga fans."
Subscribers' weekly subscriptions will be rolled over to the new monthly format automatically.
Gutsoon! Entertainment was established in December 2001 by Horie Nobuhiko, President and CEO of Coamix, world renowned artists Hara Tetsuo, Hojo Tsukasa, accomplished editors Negishi Tadashi and Yamamoto Hideki. Gutsoon! Entertainment, Inc. is a privately held corporation operated by its shareholders and U.S.-based management team.
