NEO Magazine

mayamada May 12, 2014 No Comments

Last year we released Samurai Chef Origins, a digital prologue  comic featuring a young Samurai Chef on his journey to becoming the food slicing critic he is today.

We’ve been working on recreating that comic in colour which you will be able to see in a future issue of NEO Magazine!

In the mean time you can check out the current issue  #123

From NEO:

Go on an epic journey with Naruto author Masashi Kishimoto, as he discusses his postponed honeymoon, looming deadlines, and the prospect of ending possibly the greatest shonen series the world has ever seen. Also, Akira director Katsuhiro Otomo’s latest multimedia creation, Short Peace, is put under the microscope. Discover Hayao Miyazaki’s controversial, career ending movie, The Wind Rises, and get the latest previews on Japanese titles The Pilot’s Love Song and Noragami. All that, plus news, reviews, features, tutorials, cosplay, manga and more!

The magazine can be found in WHSmiths and all good newsagents, or they can purchase direct from our site – www.neomag.co.uk
