As you might be aware, I generally try to avoid product announcements in this blog — with that going double for Fantagraphics products, what with the obvious “Dirk=company whore” connotations they bring. Nonetheless, I’ve spent the last four… long… years helping nurture this one into being, and pretty much demanded the right to be the one to break the news. And since Amazon just beat me to it, I might as well make the announcement here:

 


Panel from “The Willow Tree,” ©2010 Moto Hagio/Shogakukan.

 

Fantagraphics has signed an agreement with Shogakukan to launch a full manga line edited and curated by Matt Thorn.

For the record: Four years is a hell of a long time to keep a secret.
