Newtype USA is a monthly anime and manga magazine, and the official English-language version of Newtype.
Newtype USA includes both translated Japanese content and original U.S. material. Content includes anime, manga, music, game, toy and model reviews, director interviews, artist profiles, and regular columns by industry experts, tastemakers and deep-cover insiders. Newtype USA also includes bonus content, such as posters, a centerfold spread, serialized manga, and a DVD insert. Newtype USA is published by A.D. Vision, parent company of the anime distributor ADV Films and manga publisher ADV Manga. The first Newtype USA issue was published in November 2002.
One of the unique features of the magazine is that pages are organized in the Japanese back-to-front, right-to-left style. This mimics the presentation of the original Newtype. It also allows the included manga inserts to be read in the same direction as the magazine, unflipped.
Manga that have been serialized in Newtype USA include Full Metal Panic! (11/2002-8/2003), Angel/Dust (9/2003-5/2004), Chrono Crusade (6/2004-9/2004), Lagoon Engine Einsatz (10/2004-7/2005), Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days (8/2005-1/2006), Aoi House 4-koma (1/2006-present), and Angel/Dust Neo (2/2006-present).
