Subsequent volumes of the ongoing series will be published in English bi-annually. In Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V, action duels have become a global sensation, but what is the dark secret behind them that threatens to destroy the world? In the opening volume, Yuzu Hiiragi and her father run a Dueling school that’s seen better days. If only they had a star teacher to bring in new students! When a rogue Duelist known as Phantom appears in the city, Yuzu may have found a savior, but Phantom will have to deal with the Leo Corporation’s special forces before he can get into any community service! “Dueling takes center stage in this new adventure with a fresh cast of characters and non-stop action,” says Michael Montesa, Editor. “YU-GI-OH! fans and manga readers won’t want to miss out on the latest tales from the dark and dangerous world of dueling.” Original Yu-Gi-Oh! series creator, Kazuki Takahashi, first tried to break into the manga business in 1982, but success eluded him until Yu-Gi-Oh! debuted in the Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1996. Yu-Gi-Oh!’s themes of friendship and fighting, together with Takahashi`s weird and wonderful art, soon became enormously successful, spawning a real-world card game, video games, and six anime series (two Japanese YU-GI-OH! series, YU-GI-OH! GX, YU-GI-OH! 5D`s, YU-GI-OH! ZEXAL, and YU-GI-OH! ARC-V). VIZ Media is the official North American publisher of a variety of Yu-Gi-Oh! manga series including Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal. YU-GI-OH! is a $2-billion-dollar global entertainment franchise and is the leading trading card game in the world. The popular property has spawned a wide array of top rated TV anime series as well as trading cards, action figures, video games, magazines, apparel and other consumer products. In North America, the YU-GI-OH! anime series is widely seen on Nicktoons and over 7.2 million YU-GI-OH! video games have been sold in the U.S. to-date.
