Read Bizenghast for Free
Posted in Manga News on May 16, 2009 by JohannaTokyopop will be releasing Bizenghast Book 6 by M. Alice Legrow in August.
To promote the upcoming volume and allow readers to pick up the story, Tokyopop is putting the whole series online for free. (Smart move, since by the release of 6, it will be over a year since the last book came out in July 2008.)
Of course, there is a catch. Each book will only be available for one week.
- Book 1: Now (May 15)
- Book 2: May 22
- Book 3: May 29
- Book 4: June 5
- Book 5: June 12
But at that point, they’ll start putting Book 6 online. Many other publishers wouldn’t do that — they’d think that online readers wouldn’t bother to buy if they can read it for free. Be interesting to see how well this works for the company. At this point, I can’t see what they have to lose.

I really like this book and was excited when I found that I could read it all online for free, but I was wondering why you haven’t put up volume two yet?
