Last week the good folks from Seven Seas sent us details of three new web comics in a manga style. They are keen to promote the title as manga, even though the authors are not Japanese, some more precise companies would say that this is work in a manga style, or influenced by manga.
The art for all three web comics is of a high standard and we recommend you take a look.

Press release as follows:
SEVEN SEAS LAUNCHES 3 NEW WEBMANGA
(LOS ANGELES, July 7, 2006) - Seven Seas Entertainment announced today the debut of three new web manga on Gomanga.com - Hollow Fields, Moonlight Meow, and The Outcast! This exciting new trio of series joins Seven Seas’ fan-favorite harem comedy Aoi House, which also appears in Newtype USA each month as an exclusive color 4-panel comic strip.
Serialized in the popular web manga format, a new page of each series will be posted every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Seven Seas’ website, www.gomanga.com. As with all Seven Seas titles, all three new series will be published individually in book format in late 2006 and early 2007.
Hollow Fields:
Story & Art by Madeleine Rosca
Little Lucy Snow was meant to be enjoying her first day at the nice elementary school in town; however a macabre twist of fate sees her enrolled instead at Miss Weaver's Academy for the Scientifically Gifted and Ethically Unfettered-also known as Hollow Fields. Located on the outskirts of Nullsville and run by the insidious Engineers, the grim boarding school dedicates itself to raising the next generation of mad scientists and evil geniuses!
Moonlight Meow:
Story by Bambi Eloriaga
Art by Roland Amago
Womanizing Englishman and curry shop owner Gabriel Solo suffers from a catastrophic conundrum... Every night, he turns into a black cat, thanks to the peculiar curse placed upon him by an Indian feline goddess. Or so he thinks. For unknown to Gabe, he is not the only shape-shifter in town.
The Outcast:
Story by Vaun Wilmott
Art by Edward Gan
There are fallen angels who live among us, who torment and tempt every person they encounter, looking for a weakness to exploit. Their sole purpose is to destroy lives wherever they can and Riley, a vulnerable girl with a tragic past, seems to be the perfect target. Or is she?
