New York Anime Festival!

Thank you so much to all of you who stopped by the Yen Press booth at NYAF this past weekend! We handed out even more copies of YEN PLUS, JuYoun slapped a bunch of people, and a good time was had by all. Well, by me anyway... Of course, the big news came at our panel on Sunday, where we unveiled the first copies of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, releasing later this month! For those of you who snagged a copy at the panel, we hope you enjoyed it! But panels aren't just for snagging free books! They're for announcements!

• HERO TALES: Juushin Enbu, the latest work from Hiromu Arakawa, creator of Fullmetal Alchemist, with story by Huang Jin Zhou. Hero Tales is the story of Taitou, a boy who discovers his destiny among the warriors of the stars.
• SPICE AND WOLF, a novel series by Isuna Hasekura. A harvest goddess in the form of a beautiful wolf girl joins a young merchant when she is rejected by the local townsfolk and persecuted by the controlling religious faction.
• WELCOME TO WAKABA-SOH by Chako Abeno, creator of Sola. A high school boy's loyalty is challenged when he finds himself in a dorm full of beautiful girls, all competing for his affection.
• 13TH BOY by SangEun Lee. Hee-So has tried to find lasting love with twelve boyfriends, only to have it fall apart time and again. Will number thirteen be the lucky one?
• SUGARHOLIC by GooGoo Gong. When a country bumpkin travels to the city, she finds her heart divided between a handsome millionaire and an old classmate turned rock star!

We're very excited about the things coming up at Yen Press and hope you are too! Thanks for reading! We'll see you next time...
