Earlier this month, I gave away two copies of Osamu Tezuka’s Barbara, a fantastic geikiga manga from Digital Manga Inc.’s Kickstarter initiative. This time I’m stepping it up by giving away copies of books from three separate series, all from indie/small press publisher Vertical Inc.
Vertical has published a lot of interesting manga this year, with plenty to come in the 2013 publishing year. I am looking forward to quite of few of their 2013 titles. But I liked a lot of their 2012 titles, including 5 Centimeters per Second, Limit, and Message to Adolf With that in mind, here’s the giveaway:
I’m giving away three separate prize packages:
A) 5 Centimeters per Second, by Makoto Shinkai and Yukiko Seike
B) Heroman vol. 1, by Taimon Ohta, Stan Lee, and Bones
C) Limit, vols. 1-2, by Keiko Suenobu
Rules/Guidelines:
1. In order to enter the contest, please leave a comment in this post telling me which of the three you want to enter for (you can enter for more than one or all if you choose), and then tell me what Veritcal Inc. manga you are looking forward to most next year. This can be a new release, something you’re already enjoying, or something they’ve already released and you are planning on getting, so think about it!
2. Non-North American readers are welcome to participate. Winners will be asked to verify their address via Twitter or email after the contest has ended. Participants have 3 days to respond to my request, or another participant will be drawn.

4. Winners will be announced on December 27th! All entries must be sent in by 12 PM December 27th.
Good luck!
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin has to be the most exciting Vertical release in 2013. It is the amazing retelling of the original Gundam 0079 story by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, the original series’ character designer. Vertical is going all out with a super high quality release so it should not be passed over by any mecha fans or just fans of classic anime and manga.
I myself just want Limit.
I’ll throw in for Limit and 5 Centimeters per Second.
The Vertical title that I am most looking forward to is Wolfsmund.
I’m probably most interested Buddha. Not a new series, certainly, but I’ve been recently getting into Tezuka’s work and am eager to pick up this one next. As for the contest, please put me down for either 5 Centimeters and Limit. Thanks!
I’d be interested in winning Limit, and I’m most looking forward to the conclusion (v2) of Message to Adolf.
Well, I’ve read a bit of the original Paradise Kiss and Adolf runs but haven’t had a chance to read past the first volume or so so I’m really hoping I can find time to get Vertical’s rereleases of the series. And put me down as being interested in either Heroman or Limit.
And for my extra tweet https://twitter.com/WanderinDreamr/status/281775475049779200
I’m looking forward to Helter Skelter, as well as the last volume of the Paradise Kiss rerelease.
I would like 5 cm/sec and Heroman.
I would like to win 5 Centimeters per Second and most look forward to part 2 of Message To Adolf.
I’m most excited for Utsubora- Nakamura Asumiko does some of my favorite art in manga, and the only Japanese-language manga I own is by her (bought before the license announcement, because I thought it’d be my only chance to get my hands on some
)
I’m also excited for Helter Skelter and the ~mystery~ josei series the twitter account keeps alluding to.
I’m interested in the 5cm/s and Limit prize packs
That twitter link got formatted really strangely. Oh well.
I am looking forward to Knights of Sidonia (Sci-fi manga! Yay!) and Utsubora (I love Nakamura’s art style and I really liked her work that was published on Jmanga). Since Paradise Kiss was oop by the time I stared reading manga, I’m glad they rescued it and I’m looking forward to its completion.
I’m interested in all three titles.
I’m entering for either 5 Centimeters per Second or Limit.
My most-anticipated Vertical title of 2013 is probably Utsubora; I like Nakamura’s art and I’ve enjoyed those of her BL titles we’ve gotten so far. I’m also looking forwards to Helter Skelter, the “mystery TBA josei title”, and the end of ParaKiss.
There are actually two TBA josei titles!
Pingback: Review: Limit, Vols. 1-2 | Manga Widget
I wonder if I’m too late or not but I’d love to read the Limit set, as for what I’m most looking forward to, probably Wolfsmund and Gundam Origin.
Tweeted it before
Bah forgot to enter for the Limit v1-2 set, even though I tweeted about it.
I’m looking forward to Wolfsmund and Sidonia though Gundam Origins is also high on my list.
Also managed to use the wrong account T_T
