Manga Surprise! Morning & Afternoon Special Edition

Published in 1995–1996 by Kodansha USA, this two-issue special edition offered a curated sampler of serialized stories from the publisher's Morning and Afternoon magazines. Featuring work from a range of Japanese creators, it served as an English-language introduction to the diverse, adult-oriented manga these magazines were known for. Though brief, the series captured a moment when Kodansha was bringing its popular seinen titles to an international audience.
