Hot on the heels of Yen Press' recent license announcements, yesterday saw another manga publisher unveiling some new acqusitions of their own, as Vertical to the stage at US convention Katsucon to lift the lid on a trio of licenses.

First up we have the manga adaptation of Makoto Shinkai's The Garden of Words, with Midori Motohashi bringing this love story to the manga format as a single volume release.

Then we have the original source material of a currently airing anime adaptation in the form of Witch Craft Works, the story of an ordinary boy who is anything but as he finds himself under the protection of his school's most popular girl who has a secret identity as a powerful witch.

Finally, the company have also snagged the license to seinen manga Ajin, the story of a student who discovers that he is an immortal "Ajin" of the series title, which in turn makes him a wanted man.

All three of these series are currently slated to debut in English this autumn. Are you looking forwrad to any of these releases? Let us know in the comments!
