And the winner of the Umineko: When They Cry manga giveaway is…Monica Mistal!
As the winner Monica will be receiving the first omnibus of Ryukishi07 and Kei Natsumi’s manga Umineko: When They Cry as published by Yen Press. Umineko: When They Cry is one of many manga recently released in English which are based on video games, visual novels, or dating sims. For this giveaway, I was interested in learning about some of the other video game inspired manga that people have read. (Check out the giveaway comments for all of the responses.)

If you’re looking for video game inspired manga, comics, and art, the publisher you should really be paying attention to is Udon Entertainment. Recently, both Yen Press and Seven Seas have also been making a good showing of manga adaptations of video games. Thank you to everyone who entered May’s manga giveaway and shared the video game manga that you’ve read with me. I hope to see you all again for June’s giveaway!
