Dark Horse to Release Kimba the White Lion manga

Wow... I was browsing around on Dark Horse's website and I ran across this press release saying they're going to release Kimba the White Lion manga in November!

cmoon should be a happy! I never saw this one coming...

Anyway, check out the press release

Wooow, how great! Finally all non-japanese people can read it (at least all those who can't read German or French)!
And such a pretty Cover. If it's unflipped (I hope so for that price!), I think I'll buy it too, even if I have already the german manga. The cover is just so cute.

Cool, "Kimba...the tortured son of Chunchu?". Great news and all, but I wonder if Dark Horse is marketing to the right crowd...

I was fooled at first!

Heh, I hope this isn't some cruel April Fool's joke. It seems kind of suspicious to me, with this not in the press release section, most of the links on the website giving errors and your name in the url and everything. But if it's true and I'm not being paranoid, this is great news. It would be nice to see that Dark Horse hasn't given up on publishing Tezuka's works.

What kind of url is this?

The cruelty of April Fools

Though the url should've been a giveaway to most people. Meh, I have the German version, so I wouldn't care for a English version anyway ~_~

Me has the German version too. But I still would like a version with a prettier cover haha! XD

Proves once more, never believe news on april the first. ;_; Evil strobez.

oh come on! you guys TOTALLY boughht it... didn't ya~!

I wasn't sure what series I should do (or what press release I should hijack)... there were so many options. I thought about doing Black Jack from Viz, but I couldn't resist having a go at cmoon's chain...

:twisted:

This was such a cute joke you pulled last year strobe :lol:

But it sure would be wonderful if we could have Kimba manga for real. SIGH

I have scoured the internet for over a dozen years, and I have found a lot of Kimba treasures, but I have never seen nor heard of a licensed English translation of the manga. I sincerely doubt there has ever been one.

I am perfectly willing to be proved wrong, however.
