Titan Manga is going into next month swinging! The publisher, whose offerings range from Atom: The Beginning to the manga adaptation of BBC’s Sherlock, is preparing to launch a trio of new series in English in September. Get ready for a spinoff of a beloved classic, a new paranormal-flavored mafia story, and the original manga behind Science SARU’s next anime! Join us for sneak peeks at all three.
SANDA Vol. 1
It’s the 2080s. Climate change has done away with the seasons, and the birth rate is so low that children are Japan’s top commodity. Also, Christmas is a thing of the past. But that doesn’t stop schoolgirl Shiori from believing. She suspects that her classmate, Kazushige Sanda, is descended from the actual Santa Claus. And it turns out she’s right! By donning red and performing a few small tasks, Sanda ages up into a buff, superpowered Santa. (His favorite candy turns him back.)
While the duo’s initial goal is to find a presumed-dead classmate, things spiral wildly out of control. Shiori isn’t the only kid with a Christmas wish. The higher-ups at the school appear to be dead set against the reemergence of the jolly old elf. And, like a Super Saiyan Tim Allen, Sanda finds that he’s becoming more like St. Nick every day! What happens next? Jump on this popular series by Paru Itagaki before the anime adaptation debuts in October and find out!
SANDA Vol. 1 goes on sale September 9.
Saint Seiya: Dark Wing Vol. 1
From St. Nicholas to a very different kind of saint, it’s time for a new take on a shonen fighting classic. There have been numerous Saint Seiya spinoffs over the decades, but Dark Wing goes somewhere unexpected: to the underworld and the armies of Hades!
It all starts when Shoichiro and his classmates die in a tragic accident. However, they wake up to discover they’ve become spectres in the service of Hades. Shoichiro in particular has become one of Hades’s Judges, but he can’t for the life of him remember why he’s fighting or what he’s meant to do. But things get even more complicated as we flash back to 18 months prior. While Shoichiro was none the wiser, the people closest to him were protecting the reincarnation of Athena. And now, they’ll have to cross swords! Whether you’re a lifelong Saint Seiya fan or an isekai enjoyer looking for something new, dip into this dark spin on the classic story.
Saint Seiya: Dark Wing goes on sale September 16.
Gran Familia Vol. 1
In the world of Kenji Hamada’s Gran Familia, demi-humans exert their power over humans via powerful mafias. None is more powerful than the vampiric Gran Familia. Nonetheless, bumbling restaurant employee Leo believes humans and demis can coexist. And he should know: he’s secretly the young heir to Gran Familia!
Together with his fellow staffers, Leo does what he can to set right the turbulent wrongs between humans and demis. Whether that means protecting humans from demi raids or freeing a mermaid songstress from a cruel human boss, this trio is only interested in doing what’s right. Can Leo really bring happiness to everyone, or is he on a fool’s errand?
Gran Familia Vol. 1 goes on sale September 30.
