Blue Exorcist and Tales of Graces f feature on NEO 101's Double Cover

Fresh from celebrating its 100th issue, NEO magazine returns with batch 101, packing a double cover; Blue Exorcist on one-side, with a full-length feature on the school-based hell raiser; and Tales of Graces f, as the publication explores the vast history behind the hit Japanese RPG franchise.

That's not all! Tale of publisher Namco Bandai has teamed up with NEO to include a free mini-mag, showing off the fantastic cosplay, fan-art and short stories created from various community projects, as well as words from series producer Hideo Baba. Don't miss it – only in NEO!

If that's not enough to get the average Japanese pop-culture fan excited, NEO also takes a look at the hottest new anime currently rocking the airwaves of Japan; Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine and Jourmungand – a series just licensed by Manga Entertainment!
