Kinjin Storylab is expanding the reach of creator-owned comics with the launch of its new Mangita line! Coined by the cross-cultural comics lab as a Japanese-Spanish term meaning “beloved little comics,” Mangitas are compact full-color editions designed to deliver complete, satisfying chapters of story at an affordable price. Built for curious readers, Mangitas offers an all-new way to step into creator-owned worlds—where the strange feels human and every moment (in both this life and the afterlife) leaves a mark. 

Each Mangita is thoughtfully redesigned with brand-new wraparound covers while preserving the immersive world that earned Dan Goldman’s Unfinished Business hardcover a 2026 Eisner Award nomination for Best Publication Design.

Additionally, Red Light Properties Mangitas will be Kinjin Storylab’s first titles distributed through Ingram, making them available to comic shops, zine shops, bookstores, libraries, and retailers worldwide.

The first three Mangitas will cover the complete first season of Red Light Properties, while the fourth brings stories currently serialized through Kinjin Storylab’s free newsletter into print for the very first time. Future Mangitas will follow every few months as the thrilling series continues.

The first 200-page Red Light Properties Vol. 1 Mangita is slated to arrive this fall, with subsequent volumes releasing bi-monthly. Comic shops, bookstores, libraries, and retailers can order copies through Ingram distribution.
