DON’T SUBMIT TO BOREDOM - MANGA YOUR WEEK UP!

Mondays may notoriously suck but the avengers of boredom over at Manga Entertainment are forever battling to improve the lot of decent anime-loving folk.  Make sure that you’re sitting down before you attempt to take on the serious news punishment waiting for you below.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Volume 3 is out today Monday 25th April.  The Laughing Man resurfaces, a serial killer emerges who skins his victims alive in the unique pattern of a T-shirt, Togusa finds more than he expects when he’s sent undercover at a mental institution and that’s just some of the highlights!  Don’t stare out your window this Monday when you can blow your mind with this double disc sensation instead.

Tuesdays aren’t much of an improvement on Mondays so head over to www.standalonecomplex.co.uk tomorrow Tuesday 26th April and hit the CONTEST button on the home page or go direct to www.standalonecomplex.co.uk/contest.php to enter the latest competition.  Up for grabs this week is a Playstation 2 and a copy of the official Stand Alone Complex PS2 game.  Three runners up will get a copy of the game.  For further details on this frankly awesome game head to www.ghostintheshell-thegame.com

While you’re at the www.standalonecomplex.co.uk site click through to the Manga home site - www.manga.co.uk and join the new mailing list to sign up for the new Mangazette monthly news letter; the first of which comes out Wednesday 27th April.  Unlike the dull corporate nonsense you have to endure from other companies Manga guarantee real news you want to hear like new release info, convention, screening and appearance info, links to affiliates and partners, promotions and competitions exclusive to Mangazette readers.  Also while you’re at the Manga site check out the updated merchandise section to buy outrageous figurines from Manga’s eye-popping Dead Leaves anime.
