Udon Announces Manga For Kids Line

American comic and manga publishing company Udon Entertainment has formally announced the development of a publishing label named Manga For Kids. As its name suggests, the label will concentrate on publishing English translated manga for juvenile male and female readers.

The initial four Manga For Kids titles are:

The Big Adventures of Majoko, by Tomomi Mizuna
Ninja Baseball Kyuma!, by Shunshin Maeda
Fairy Idol Kanon, by Mera Hakamada
Swans in Space, by Yamamoto Lunlun

Big Adventures of Majoko and Ninja Baseball Kyuma! will debut in April 2009. Fairy Idol Kanon will launch in May. Swans in Space will premiere in June.

Viz Media similarly has a successful line of “Viz Kids” manga and DVD releases. Urban Vision unsuccessfully tried to launch a “Lil’ Vision” line of anime for children in 2002.
