El Imperio del Sol Naciente ha ejercido siempre una irresistible fascinación sobre Occidente, y la fértil imaginación de muchos autores de historietas apelaron a tal encanto para situar allí sus creaciones, con mayor o menor acierto.

Sir Edward Grey, a mysterious character occasionally appearing in “B.P.R.D.” and “Hellboy,” now has his own five-issue miniseries from Dark Horse with the first issue released last July 1, 2009. Written by Hellboy mastermind Mike Mignola with art by Ben Stenbeck, Witchfinder: In the Service of Angels sees the Victorian occult detective fighting against otherworldly assassins and the devious machinations of the Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra. Although it has the same premise as others in Dark Horse's Hellboy Universe--paranormal investigators confronting the forces of the dark--the throwback setting to Victorian England help lend Witchfinder a fresh viewpoint, and it manages to more than hold its own. Definitely laying the groundwork for a major role for Witchfinder in an upcoming Hellboy saga.

Boogiepop Dual (ブギーポップ・デュアル, Bugīpoppu Dyuaru?), also known as Boogiepop Dual: Losers' Circus, is a manga by Masayuki Takano (author of Blood Alone), an offshoot of the Boogiepop series, a series of young adult novels by Kouhei Kadono. This work suggests that Toka Miyashita is not the only Boogiepop, and that there are many. Takano closely recreates the atmosphere created by Kouji Ogata, who illustrated the original novels and manga, though it is not known whether Takano is employing his natural style or simply imitating Ogata in the interests of continuity. His plot structure and twists are sophisticated, reproducing the interweaving of past and present that characterize Kadono's original.
