Christian Manga to be published in January

Postby **superninjaspy** » Wed Nov 19, 2003 4:46 pm

Boys and Girls: Lend an ear. There's a new, independent comic book studio, Riotgear Graphic Novels, that's interested in putting out stories filled with the message of hope that comes from Christ.

Our first book is coming out this January. The pencils are almost done, and we've got the finances lined up to print. What we need to know is: does anyone care? Are there enough fans serious about both faith and manga to make this work? Because we'd like to see it blow up in a big way. We'd like to bring to the comic book scene what U2 and P.O.D. have brought to the music world: art that stands on it's own alongside the world's, with a heartbeat that points it's audience to Christ.

This could be nothing... just a book that get's published once, then everything folds because no one was into it. Or it could be the beginning of something huge. And I really believe that which way it goes is up to you people.

Go check out http://www.riotgeardesign.com/theway.html, see for yourself.

Some of the Japanese people in my complex have some christian manga that is somewhat familiar "anime" style, but it's a JP only release...

But I'm definitely getting a copy when it's out ^^ Must must must get Christian manga! XD

If God wants to claim souls in the manga world, He'll do it. And He will. Christian manga will shake the secular manga world. I'll be praying for your efforts and will do all I can to help out (promotion etc).

Have faith!

http://www.riotgeardesign.com/theway.html has a promotion page up now, complete with a PDF poster for download, and an ad bar to put on your own website. Let's make sure and turn up the hype for a proffessional Christian manga.

Woo-Hoo! I've never even bought a manga before, but if I do, this'll probably be it

a christian manga in print form? first I'v seen or anything. I'd love to help out but want to read first so if you can send me a copy just contact me. I'd love to and can be a huge help but don't endorse things without experiencing first

Hi again, everyone. :grin:

I just wanted to ask a important question. I tried to see if I could preorder this manga from my local Walden's Bookstore, and they said that they never heard of it.

I was all like "Wa?" :eyebrow:

Does anyone know the date of it's release? It would really help.

TTYL!

Your Buddy,
Angel "Sketch" Blanco :angel:

From what I understand, the studio does not have enough resources to get it distributed through comic/bookstores at the moment. I think you have to order online directly from the studio. It's already been released (if they're on schedule) and I suggest emailing superninjaspy about it or visit the website. They should be able to process an order for you.

Ya know Ann, thats exactly what I thought as well. I mean She does look like Kagome..at least a little bit.

Yeah, there are some Manga that have bad stuff...Rurouni Kenshin isn't but there are a lot of others. A Christian manga will be nice.

Same here, heh.

I'll be buying that. Looks good!

Postby **That Dude** » Sun May 16, 2004 2:16 pm

Coolness...I might buy it sometime when I have money. Man once I get a bit better I want to do that...Maybe join them in their christian manga-ka group.
