Press Release
Manga Magazine
Since October, it has been on the market: »BANZAI!«, the first genuine German manga magazine. Carlsen Comics is more than satisfied shortly after the launch, with over 80,000 copies of Issue No. 1 already sold. The publisher is particularly pleased that these sales figures were achieved right away, without the magazine being supported by a TV tie-in.
Dr. Joachim Kaps, Publishing Director of Carlsen Comics: »The success of BANZAI! vindicates Carlsen Comics' program policy pursued over the past years, which views manga not as a short-term hype but consistently establishes it as a growth factor in the book and press trade.«
»BANZAI!« is aimed at a male readership aged 10 to 16, and behind the scenes, work is already underway on a corresponding magazine for girls.
