Coming down the pipeline from Anime News Network is some crazy news you likely weren’t expecting. Tyndale House Publishers will be releasing a manga series aptly titled “Manga Bible” which will have popular Japanese manga artists retelling famous Bible stories. Hidenoi Kumai has been announced as the author of the first volume, with Kazumi Shinozawa and Atsuko Ogawa tapped for the artwork. Whether this turns out to be a hardcore blood-n-guts take on the Bible or, more likely, something similar to those Bible anime shows they used to run on Christian public access television in the early 90′s is anybody’s guess.
Also, is it just me, or does Jesus look a Hell of a lot like Vincent from Cowboy Bebop: the Movie?
I have to say that the poses on the cover and the spine are too anime-ish. Girly, even. Or is it just me?
That aside, this is a great find. :D
