| Sailor Moon is a girls' manga favorite, full of cute faces and flowing
adventures. Parasyte is a boys' manga favorite, full of blood and severed
heads. The two titles co-existed in Mixxine, the flagship publication of
Mixx entertainment. That will change soon, according to Stuart Levy of
Mixx. After feeling some heat from those who didn't want shojo and shonen
too close together in a U.S. publication, Sailor Moon and Parasyte will
be published in different magazines. |
 |
| Sailor Moon goes into a new publication titled Smile, which will feature
some of the Sailor Moon Supers stories. A separate Sailor Moon series will
follow from Mixx. Meanwhile, Parasyte stays in Mixxine, which will add
Gundam and Sorcerer Hunters. On that last title, known among many U.S.
fans as Bakaretsu Hunters: Levy said he decided to follow the lead of AD
Vision, which will be calling their anime release Sorcerer instead of Bakaretsu. |
 |
| Mixxine has come as close as any U.S. publication to matching the large
monthly and weekly manga which contain hundreds of pages. Those massive
anthologies won't work in the U.S., Levy said, because dealers don't know
how to handle anything other than the typical 48-page monthly comic. Mixxine
is an expensive proposition for Mixx, but it's worth the effort to bring
new titles to the public which can be spun off into their own monthly series,
he said. |
