Glad to hear about Soul Eater Not, although I was fairly sure they would get it.

Re: Yen Press Acquires Madoka Magica & Soul Eater NOT Manga.

I am pleased by this news but wonder whether Soul Eater NOT! ever had a volume release, I won't be likely to pay to read their "Yen Plus Online Magazine".

*Checks*

Seems it has according to the Wikia's News and this Amazon page: http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%BD%E3%82%A6%E3%83%AB%E3%82%A4%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%8E%E3%83%83%E3%83%88-1-%E3%82%AC%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AC%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9F%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9-%E5%A4%A7%E4%B9%85%E4%BF%9D-%E7%AF%A4/dp/4757533659/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319067250&sr=8-1

I would hope that they don't take their time with the physical release of the manga as Soul Eater NOT! acts as a prequel with insight into the structure that made the franchise and some characters who are now popping up as pretty relevant for the possible final battle.

As for the others, Yen Press are more or less the best publishers around. They don't cave into the translation choices of the dubbers and they always insert a note section and/or notes on the way.
Good print too.

I'll applaud Yen Press, they've really been getting into the game lately and making smart moves that I think/hope will pay off for them in the future so they can continue their advances.

Howdy all!

I may add the Madoka Magica manga to my list sine I enjoyed the K-ON! & Omamori Himari Manga.

See ya!

Oh gawd, I feel like I have to warn you before you actually spend money on it. Madoka Magica is nothing like K-on. And I don't mean in the obvious way. It's written by Gen Urobuchi, the man behind Saya no Uta, Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ and Fate/Zero. He is decidedly not a man known for light-hearted stories. Madoka Magica is a fantastic magical girl story, arguably one of the best ever written. But it's not one of those "sparkles and friendship-beams" kind of magical girl stories.
