Yen Plus Manga Magazine Profile

Yen Plus made its debut in late July 2008 and instantly established itself as a different kind of manga anthology magazine. With its mix of Japanese manga, Korean manhwa and original English manga, Yen Plus is a double-sided publication, with pages that read in both Japanese right-to-left and Western left-to-right formats. Preferring to concentrate solely on comics content, Yen Plus' mix of shojo, shonen and seinen manga and manhwa is geared to appeal to older teen readers. Yen Plus, like all of Yen Press' releases, is available in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom.
