VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), the largest publisher, distributor and
licensor of manga and anime in North America, delivers brand new manga
action inspired by Capcom’s Monster HunterTM, one of the hottest RPG video game properties.

The fantasy action series is rated ‘T’ for Teens and will carry a print MSRP of $10.99 U.S. / $12.99 CAN. MONSTER HUNTER: FLASH HUNTER will also launch digitally on April 12th via VIZManga.com

It
is an age when monsters rule the world, soaring through the sky,
treading the earth and filling the seas. Humanity survives on the
fringes, relying on a special kind of hero to defend the people from
danger – the Monster Hunters!
In
the opening volume of the series, hunting giant man-eating beasts is no
job for the weak-hearted, but along with courage, it takes skill and
experience to be a good Hunter. It also takes good teamwork. Raiga and
his comrades are experts now, but when they started down the path of the
Monster Hunter, they lacked these qualities. When they head off to
confront the dragon-like Queropeco, they quickly learn that this flaw
could cost them dearly…
“MONSTER HUNTER: FLASH HUNTER is based on Capcom’s bestselling game property that has sold more than 33
million units across four game titles, “ says Michael Montesa, Editor.
“Fans of the video game will not want to miss this action-driven new
fantasy series that offers a whole new way to enjoy the popular
storyline and characters.”
