Raijin Comics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raijin Comics was a manga anthology published in North America by Gutsoon Entertainment and largely backed by the Sega Corporation at its inception.

The comics were aimed at an older audience. The magazine was initially a weekly publication, but it later became a monthly magazine. In June 2004, the magazine stopped circulation and the brand was put "on hiatus". Raijin and the English version of Shonen Jump launched nearly simultaneously, causing many market problems for Raijin especially in terms of distribution. This was most likely what caused Raijin Comic's "hiatus".

On May 5, 2005, Raijin lost control of the raijincomics.com domain name to domain squatters; the corporate website, gutsoon.com remains currently in operation but has not been updated since June of 2004.[1]
