Yen Press is the manga and graphic novel division of Hachette Book Group USA. Among other things, it will release a monthly anthology. The company has shown interest in publishing manga, manhwa, as well as releasing works by international artists.
In July 2007, it was announced that Yen Press was to absorb ICEkunion, a Korean publisher that had been releasing manhwa to the United States. A recent press release stated that Yen Press would continue to release ICEkunion's titles, but would not be able to do so until spring of 2008. While the manga titles bearing ICEkunion's label would be continued to be sold in stores, subsequent printings would bear the Yen Press logo. In the same article Yen Press's co-director of publishing Kurt Hassler has stated "We plan to pick up all the existing [ICE Kunion] titles,” ... “We’re going to continue everything, so fans shouldn’t worry. None of these series are going to fall into a void.”[1]
Yen Press has also stated that it would like to release 30-40 volumes within 2008. One of the flagship titles of their American artists line has been announced to be Nightschool, which would be released by Svetlana Chmakova, who is known for her Tokyopop title Dramacon.
