LOVE TRIANGLE!! ROMANTIC COMEDY!! GANG WARFARE?! MANGA FANS ARE INVITED TO CATCH THE PRINT DEBUT OF NISEKOI FROM VIZ MEDIA
IN JANUARY
It’s False Love And Hate At First Sight In This Hilarious Manga Series About A Pair Of Mismatched Lovers That Kicks Off 2014
San Francisco, CA, December 18, 2013 –
VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), the largest distributor and licensor of
manga and anime in North America, delivers laugh-out-loud fun as it
announces the print debut of Volume 1 of the comedy manga (graphic
novel) series NISEKOI on January 7th, 2014. The hit series by
creator Naoshi Komi will be published under the company’s SHONEN JUMP
imprint, rated ‘T’ for Teens, and will carry an MSRP of $9.99 U.S. /
$12.99 CAN.
It's
hate at first sight – or rather, a knee-to-the-head at first sight –
when Raku Ichijo meets Chitoge Kirisaki! Unfortunately, Raku’s gangster
father arranges a false love match between Raku and their rival gang
leader’s daughter, who just so happens to be Chitoge! Raku’s searching
for his childhood sweetheart from ten years ago, however, with a pendant
around his neck as a memento…but he can't even remember the girl’s name
or face!
NISEKOI, Volumes 1-6 are also available for digital download for $6.99 (USD/CAN) each on VIZManga.com and through the VIZ MANGA App for the Apple iPad®, iPhone® and iPod® touch, Android-powered smart phones, and also for NOOK, KOBO, and KINDLE tablets and devices. With
one account, registered VIZ Manga users are able to view digital manga
purchases across even more devices than ever and the platform currently
features over 2,000 volumes across 170 different series.
“North
American manga fans got their first taste of NISEKOI when VIZ Media
launched it simultaneously in our WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP digital manga
magazine on the same day as the Japanese debut, and the buzz on this
series has grown ever since,” says Amy Yu, Editor. “Raku and Chitoge
must pretend
to be in a relationship to maintain the peace between their fathers’
warring yakuza factions, but false love is easier said than done –
especially once an overprotective bodyguard, a dangerous female assassin
and a mysterious girl claiming to be Raku’s fiancée appear! Fans and
readers won’t want to miss all the drama and action as we kick off 2014
with the print debut of this great series!”
Manga creator Naoshi Komi’s first serialized title in Japan’s Weekly Shonen Jump was the series, Double Arts. His current series, NISEKOI, is currently serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump and in North America in VIZ Media’s WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP digital manga magazine.
