The North American manga publisher Yen Press announced at its Comic-Con International panel on Friday that it licensed the Durarara!! manga (launching January 2012), the Kore wa Zombie desu ka? manga (March 2012), and Aki's Olimpos manga (2-volume story to be released in one omnibus volume).
Yen Press also announced that the iOS version of its Yen Plus magazine will be available within 24 hours. People who download the iOS version will receive a free bonus, Gossip Girl: Psycho Killer. The graphic novel short re-imagines the cast of the Gossip Girl novel series as if they were in a horror story.
When asked about light novels, Yen Press head Kurt Hassler said that his company has no new light novel to announce, but it is looking at some properties and hopes to have something to announce in the not-so-distant future.
