From an interview with Viz EiC Alvin Lu in today’s Publisher’s Weekly Comics Week<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

“We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking to continue in other areas as well, like the Viz Signature line [a new line for older and more adventurous manga readers]. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking to continue pushing that, and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking to acquire titles this year and next. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got Uzumaki <\/em>and Gyo<\/em> by Junji Ito and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re excited about that. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve also got a new title this fall\u00e2\u20ac\u201da repackaging of Black and White<\/em> [by Taiyo Matsumoto]. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the old title. The new title is Tekkon Concrete<\/em><\/strong>, which is [also] the title of the anime that will be coming out. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s being released by Sony. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s making the festival circuit now and will be released on DVD by fall.” – Alvin Lu.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Alvin told me about this at New York and I (quite surprisingly) kept my big mouth shut about it. But yeah, a new edition of Matsumoto’s Black and White <\/em>this fall and, if what we talked about is correct, it’ll be a single-edition, and probably in the “Phoenix” size rather than the standard-format manga size. Which is goddamned awesome<\/em>. Buy it<\/a>. Buy it<\/a>. Buy it<\/a>.<\/p>\n
