Umineko When They Cry: Alliance of the Golden Witch Volume 2 - Cover

Yen Pres has been spending this Easter weekend at the Sakura-Con in Seattle, which means for us plenty of brand new announcements from the company! Coming in with eight new manga acquisitions will will be released from 2012/2013, there are enough series to cater to everyone – from The Misfortune of Kyon & Koizumi for those who perhaps want something a little bit more light hearted to the bloody murder mystery of Umineko When They Cry.

Beautiful Creatures
For the past few months, Ethan Wate has been plagued with vivid, terrifying dreams—a mysterious girl cries out for his help, but as he reaches for her, she slips through his fingers and plunges into darkness. The dreams are unsettling, but awake, life in his small Southern town is the same-old news…until the new girl comes to town. And she looks almost…familiar…even though this tiny town has never seen the likes of a girl like Lena Duchannes… Talented newcomer Cassandra Jean will be illustrating this dark romantic fantasy, which will be serializing in YEN PLUS magazine online later this year.
