"Thick as Thieves" manga collection coming to US and Canada this August! (Update)

Update:

The book has now been confirmed for the U.K. (releasing July) and Germany (releasing October). Pre-orders are now available for both locations. The German release is likely taking slightly longer, due to the additional translation work needed to localise these classic stories into German.

As a note - I suspect the U.K. date will shift to match the U.S. date. It’s just a hunch - however, the same thing happened with the first volume, Greatest Heists, so I suspect it will happen here, too.

Good news, manga fans—a new compilation book containing classic Monkey Punch stories is coming your way!

Following on from 2021s Greatest Heists compilation, the second volume of classic manga stories, originally released in Japan during October 2021, contains 288 pages of Monkey Punch goodness. It features a curated selection of stories from both Lupin III and New Lupin III (AKA. World's Most Wanted), and comes presented in a hard cover tome.

The English release has been announced by popular manga, graphic novel, and comic book distributor Seven Seas Entertainment. Like the “Greatest Heists” collection that came before it, the hard cover book will feature an all-new English language translation, and will retail for $24.99 USA / $32.99 CAN. A digital eBook version will also be made available.
