“I’ve come to deliver some bad luck.”

Sven is your run-of-the-mill sweeper (a.k.a. bounty hunter) – down on his luck, haunted by the perpetual grumbling of this stomach and looking to make enough cash just to get by. Oh, and he can see the future, but only about five minutes into it. When a dirty politician lands a price on his head, this sweeper jumps at the chance to turn a quick buck. But as he’s working to secure the target, his vision reveals an assassination that will cost him the job. A confrontation with the mysterious killer and Sven has no idea that he’s brushed up against the worst possible luck…

Manga Web Portal Coming Soon

In an effort to combat online piracy of their content, 37 Japanese manga publishers are set to launch a manga web portal sometime before the new year.  The portal is tentatively being called, "J Manga Portal Site" and will distribute manga digitally from participating publishers.  In addition to the digital manga, the portal will also include news and information about other titles from the publishers.  Some of the 37 publishers are large publishing firms of Hakusensha, Kadakawa, Kodansha, Ohzora, Shogakukan, and Shueisha.

The initial web portal will be in beta form and purported to be available by the years end.  The publishers are planning on having the public site available by March of next year.  For further details see the ICv2 and Anime News Network articles.
