Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox publisher

Template:Nihongo is a manga imprint owned by Square Enix Holdings. It originated as a manga imprint for Enix before the company re-branded as Square Enix. It publishes manga in several anthologies aimed at different reader demographic groups in the Japanese market. Its anthologies are home to some popular Square Enix manga series which were adapted into anime series, like Fullmetal Alchemist, Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, Nabari no Ou, Inu x Boku SS, The Case Study of Vanitas and Soul Eater.[1] The comics are later collected in paperback volumes under brand names such as Template:Nihongo, Template:Nihongo and Template:Nihongo, which identify the anthology of serialisation. These paperback brand names are formed by omitting any Template:Nihongo or Template:Nihongo in the magazine name and inserting Template:Nihongo directly after the word Gangan.

Anthologies
