Publishing policy
Publishing policy
Manga published by JPF have varying release schedules. They include biweekly (some Dragon Ball volumes), monthly (e.g. Czarodziejka z Księżyca, Naruto), bimonthly (e.g. Tajemnica przeszłości, Fullmetal Alchemist) and quarterly (e.g. Akira). Most of the comics have a pocket format (close to B6), although it is not the rule. Some come with so-called "boxy" - boxes for singular volumes (e.g. Legend of Lemnear, Neon Genesis Evangelion) or for several parts of a given series (e.g. six boxes for nineteen volumes of Akira). JPF's manga also vary in layout - most series retain the Japanese page order (original layout), however some present a mirror image of the original (left-to-right page layout).
