The best-selling Odd Thomas series (currently with 6 books) is a collection of books by famed suspense novelist Dean Koontz. The titular character Odd Thomas is one of Dean’s most popular creations, and in 2007 the series made its first foray into manga with “In Odd We Trust”, a prequel to the first book in the series. Aimed at introducing the world of Odd Thomas to teenagers, the series features some of the most loveable characters from the original novels, as well as an all-new adventure.

The first volume, called “In Odd We Trust”, came out in 2008. The following volume, tentatively titled “Odd Is On Our Side” will be arriving in Halloween 2010.
