MangaStarterPack_Cover

You’ve seen manga sections in bookstores and wondered about these weird, digest-sized comics that open the wrong way and have odd art styles that aren’t like what you’ve seen in North American and European comics – weird looking books that have equally unique titles, like Naruto, Food Wars, and Bleach.

Now, VIZ Media is offering first chapters of several of their digital titles for free. If you’re one of the readers I’ve described above, here’s your chance to explore new worlds and new and different styles of storytelling.

Titles included in this online sampling include All You Need Is Kill (the manga version of the novel that became the Tom Cruise movie Edge of Tomorrow), Bleach, Food Wars, Naruto and One Piece. Follow the jump for the details.

VIZ Media Sets New Manga Titles For May Release!

HoneyBlood_GN01

A trio of new ongoing titles lead VIZ Media’s digital manga releases: Cheeky Angel – a tale of a nine-year old martial artist and his genie; Eureka Seven – a 14-year old aerial hover-boarder falls for Eureka, a girl who literally falls out of the sky (in an LFO); Flower of the Deep Sleep – Yuuki can dream the future, but can affect it.

Single-volume releases that sound particularly cool include: Honey Blood (Tale Zero), a prequel to Honey Blood that tells the origin of Hinata and Junya’s love, and Glass Wings – an anthology of poignant short stories.

VIZ also continues its series of Digital Manga Bundles featuring collections of such titles as Bleach (Vols. 22-48), Naruto (Vols. 17-27), One Piece (Vols. 12-23), Shaman King (Vols. 16-32) and Yu-Gi-Oh! (Vols. 1-7). Also included in May are updates for fifteen other ongoing series.
