Japonica Polonica Fantastica, also known as JPF, is the oldest Polish manga publisher, founded in 1996 in Olecko. The first titles (Aż do nieba, Czarodziejka z Księżyca [volumes 1–8]) were translated by JPF's founder, Shin Yasuda. At the end of 1998, Rafał "Kabura" Rzepka took over the role of translator. In 2006 the publishing house moved to Mierzyn near Szczecin, Poland. Currently, translators: Paweł Dybała, Michał Żmijewski, Urszula Knap and Monika Nowicka are responsible for translating manga. 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 mangas 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). More information...
