Just wondering when the contest for aspiring mangka’s will take place. It’s said that it will be announced “in the coming months”, but it’s been well over a year already! Can someone from the staff reading this please let us know that this is still in the works, or no longer going to happen. Just tell us that you haven’t forgotten about it PLEASE!!!!!

Is this issue still available? I really love Pandora Hearts and I’m not sure if it is at my local bookstore

i know a lot of people are upset about yen plus being a sampler magazine. i personally hate it and love it at the same time. i hate it bc i know i more than likely will not continue to read some of the stories i’ve grown to love. but i love it because it introduces me to a ton of stories i may have not picked up otherwise. oh yen plus, you marvelous magazine you, how you make my heart so conflicted!!

I actually like what Yen Plus is doing with the magazine, true it is basically a sampler, true it has some series run then end leading people to have to buy the books to finish the series, and true some of our favorites might be dropped at times in favor of other series.

All of that aside, I think Yen Press is not that much different in those cases then other similar magazines out there, and Yen Press in general is taking on series I am loving to see come over and taking on series so few other companies are left to even consider taking on… as such I for one will support Yen Plus and Yen Press to every extent possible ensuring at least my part is done so that we fans of these series do not lose yet another company to the ravages of the economy and whatever else lead to the loss of companies that need not be named but most of us saw expend rapidly and go recently.

Yen Press you have at least this one person’s full support for the forseeable future. Thank you for being here for us all.

As many others have already said, I’m extremely disappointed that you have revealed Yen Plus to be nothing more than glorified advertisement for your graphic novels. I actually feel stupid for subscribing to it several months ago. I can’t believe you’re foolish enough to think your (frankly insulting) answer in the June editorial would satisfy anyone. All you did was confirm all our fears. I have already decided not to renew my subscription when it comes due (unless you change your policy on rotating series), but I’m not going to cancel my current subscription until you remove another series I’m particularly fond of (which, sadly, will probably be soon). I had very high hopes for Yen Plus, and was practically in love with it until I realized it was a sampler. I wish you had more respect for your readers than to dupe them into paying for lengthy advertisements. Shame on you. SHAME.

I am not sure where to ask but I have subscribed to your magazine toward the middle of last month but so far have not gotten a issue in the mail… who do I contact about this issue?

I love your magazine and subscribed as such. It is my hope you last a nice long time and that the economy does not harm you.

Alright, I went looking for this magazine around Mid May and only found the May issue. And yesterday when I went looking at my local B&N I found the July issue! What’s going on?!? Seriously, either my B&N is super speedy or you guys need to update the website more often.
Also, why are you cutting some stories but not others? I understand if you want to put them out faster than the magazine allows, and in that case Soul Eater should be the first to go since it already has at leas 14 volumes! And why the long wait between when a book finishes in the magazine and when it comes out? You guys have probably already serialized 2 or even 3 volumes of Soul Eater, yet the first book doesn’t come out until the Fall! And Pandora Hearts, I know that on has only four chapters so what’s with the extra wait? You guys are losing customers!

Well, I’ve got the June issue but the May issue still hasn’t appeared. What happened? I’ll have to drop this magazine if I can’t get the May issue.
