VIZ Media has launched a brand new manga (graphic novel) series with the release of YO-KAI WATCH Volumes 1 and 2.
The supernatural comedy adventure series by Noriyuki Konishi is inspired by the smash hit YO-KAI WATCH video game, developed by LEVEL-5 for the Nintendo 3DS, and rated ‘A’ for All Ages. YO-KAI WATCH, Vols. 1 and 2 will each carry a print MSRP of $9.99 U.S. / $12.99 CAN. Yo-kai, inspired by the yokai of Japanese folklore, can’t be seen by the human eye, unless you have a specially designed Yo-kai Watch!
In the YO-KAI WATCH manga series, Nate Adams, an average kid, who once armed with the Yo-kai Watch, can see all kinds of Yo-kai that no one else can. He instantly begins collecting new invisible friends and embarks on supernatural adventures!
