Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a manga imprint owned by Square Enix Holdings. It originated as a manga imprint for Enix before the company merged with Square to form Square Enix. It publishes manga in several anthologies aimed at different reader demographic groups in the Japanese market. Its anthologies are home to some popular Square Enix manga series which were adapted into anime series, like Fullmetal Alchemist, Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, Nabari no Ou, Inu x Boku SS, The Case Study of Vanitas and Soul Eater.[1] The comics are later collected in paperback volumes under brand names such as Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., Script error: No such module "Nihongo". and Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., which identify the anthology of serialisation. These paperback brand names are formed by omitting any Script error: No such module "Nihongo". or Script error: No such module "Nihongo". in the magazine name and inserting Script error: No such module "Nihongo". directly after the word Gangan.
