IDW learned that Amazon.com spoils everything at least 7 months in advance of a Trade Paperback book's publication. Come to think of it, that might be part of the reason why IDW's Trade Paperbacks now collect at most 6 issues of the comics instead of 4…
Anyways, with the end of November upon us, Amazon.com has done what it usually does and listed books for preorder 7 months before their publication date. This batch of preorders happened to contain My Little Pony: The Manga by Seven Seas Entertainment. And in includes a boatload of information that wasn't in the original announcement from last week!
Starting with the reveals for the writer and illustrators of the manga, the price point, the page count, the dimensions of the book, the ISBN, and the fact that this is an Original English Language (OEL) Manga.
So no, this book isn't coming from The Land of the Rising Sun. And while that fact settles in, you can check out the full solicitation after the break!
