In
Bisco Hatori’s acclaimed series, seventeen-year-old Chiyuki Matsuoka
was born with heart problems, and her doctors say she won’t live to see
the next snow. Toya is an 18-year-old vampire who hates blood and
refuses to make the traditional partnership with a human, whose
life-giving blood would keep them both alive for a thousand years.
“Manga
fans internationally delighted in the news that Bisco Hatori was
resuming work on MILLENNIUM SNOW and we’re very excited to celebrate the
return of the landmark series in English after nearly 7 years,” says
Pancha Diaz, Editor. “The new volume continues the winning mix of
paranormal romantic drama and comedic fun between Chiyuki and Toya and
more than a few surprising plots twists are in-store in the new release!
Are they still destined to spend the millennium together?”
Bisco Hatori made her manga debut with Isshun kan no Romance (A Moment of Romance) in LaLa DX magazine. The comedy OURAN HUGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB (also published by VIZ Media’s Shojo Beat) was her breakout hit.
