Today at Anime Central in Chicago, Kodansha Comics announced new licenses for this fall, including Happiness, the new manga by Flowers of Evil author Shuzo Oshimi and new Attack on Titan books.

The Attack on Titan Anime Guidebook (title not final)

KC descibes "a must have for any fan of the show! This companion includes over 170 pages of actor interviews, concept designs, and more info never before seen in English."





The Attack on Titan Coloring Book

KC describes it as "the perfect way for manga fans to get in on the adult coloring book phenomenon! Put your own spin on 50+ pages of your favorite characters, scenes, and creepy titans."

Happiness By Shuzo Oshimi

KC describes it as

A supernatural story of sexual awakening, growing up, and suburban vampirism from the acclaimed creator of The Flowers of Evil. A boy out walking at night is attacked by a girl in an alley. She sucks his blood and gives him a choice: life or death. He chooses life, but finds himself nearly overwhelmed by a new thirst and a fascination with the necks of his classmates …

This disturbing, dark, and at times uncomfortable funny series gives us an absurd take on the awkwardness of growing up and dealing with your sexuality.
