Slayers (comedy fantasy), Yotoden (ninjas), Ninja Resurection (more

Manga Max in two editions

I had a chat with the new editor of Manga Max, Jonathan Clements, and he
explained that there will be two different editions of the first issue. The
'mature' edition will be the same as the 'normal' edition, with the
addition of a sixteen page adult supplement.
