Neb's blog got word back from Yen Press in regards to their much-awaited Yen Plus magazine. The magazine is scheduled to come out on July 29th, but there hadn't been any word in regards to subscribing to the magazine. Well, Yen Press finally responded with the details for their magazine:

• A year’s subscription to Yen Plus (yes, twelve full 400+ page issues!) will cost only $49.95! And only $59.95 for our good friends in Canada! That’s over 50% off the cover price!!!

• Subscriptions will be available starting with the second issue of Yen Plus. But don’t fear, the first issue will be sold at major retailers nationwide! Newsstand prices are $8.99 in the U.S., $9.99 in Canada, and £3.99 in the U.K.!

• Subscriptions will only be available in the U.S. and Canada (for now).

Gia has been rather excited for this, and I'm rather tempted to drop the money myself on it. I'd rather not pay $9 every month, and so a $50 subscription seems just fine. Anyone else going for it?
