posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Indonesian publisher M&C! announced on Wednesday that it has licensed Midori Gotou and Natsuo Sai's Psycho-Pass: Inspector Shinya Kōgami (Psycho-Pass: Kanshikan Kōgami Shinya) manga and Tamayo Koyasu's Prayers in the Emergency Room (Byōshitsu de Nenbutsu o Tonaenaide Kudasai) manga. M&C! will publish the first volumes of both manga on March 23.
Psycho-Pass: Inspector Shinya Kōgami is a prequel to the Psycho-Pass television anime, and centers on the titular character Shinya Kogami, an Inspector in the Public Safety Bureau. Set during the time when Kogami was still an Inspector, he commands a team of Enforcers, hunting down latent criminals before they can commit crimes in a near-future society where people's propensity for crime can be measured in a number called a "crime coefficient" or "psycho-pass."
Gotou and Sai launched the manga in Mag Garden's Monthly Comic Blade magazine in June 2014. Mag Garden published the manga's third compiled book volume last December.
Prayers in the Emergency Room centers on Teruen Matsumoto, a practicing emergency physician who is also a Buddhist priest. Teruen wears his robes and utters prayers as he treats his patients, and mourns for them if they pass away.
Koyasu launched the manga in Shogakukan's Big Comic magazine in 2012. Shogakukan published the manga's second compiled book volume in July 2014, and will publish its third volume on February 29.
