Minx is a brand new series of stand-alone graphic novels for teenage girls. Ideal for readers new to the medium and a great alternative for those already into manga, these fantastic graphic novels promise edgy and evocative plotlines and strong female protagonists, with modern teenagers facing modern issues.

This July, Titan Books launches the series with two top titles! In The P.L.A.I.N. Janes, new-girl-at-school Jane makes some namesake friends to go out and paint the town with - literally!  And in Re-Gifters, Korean-American martial arts student Dixie discovers that the best gifts are those you don't expect.

Bringing together some of the hottest talent in the UK and US, this hit series has already garnered massive acclaim in the States, from Vanity Fair to top teen magazine, Justine.

"Minx is pretty great... The stories capture the raging thrills and chills of romantic crushes and the thousand other anxieties about looking good, doing well, being liked, and feeling right that all teenagers (not just girls) suffer."- LA City Beat

"Castellucci's story echoes such teen TV as Veronica Mars and Freaks and Geeks" - LA City Beat

"The book is a charming counterpoint to the freneticism or melodramatic girlishness of manga, and is an auspicious debut for the Minx line." -Variety

When Jane is forced to move from the cool confines of Metro City to suburbia, she thinks her life is over. But in the school lunchroom - at the reject table - she finds her tribe: three other girls named Jane. "Main" Jane encourages them to form a secret art gang and paint the town P.L.A.I.N.: People Loving Art In Neighbourhoods. But can art attacks really save Jane from the hell that is high school?
