HONEY BLOOD
A Beautiful Girl Falls For The Old-World Charm Of A Mysterious Vampire Romance Writer—With His Own Taste For Blood!
New Shojo Series Launches In Print And Digitally!
San Francisco, CA, September 25, 2014 –
VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), the largest distributor and licensor of
manga and anime in North America, opens Fall with a fiery mixture of
bloodthirsty romance and supernatural intrigue in Miko Mitsuki’s shojo
manga series – HONEY BLOOD. Set for release under the Shojo Beat
imprint, Volume 1 of the 3-part series launches on October 7th and is rated ‘T’ for Teens. Print volumes each carry an MSRP of $9.99 U.S. / $12.99 CAN.
In the opening volume, everyone
is on edge when a girl at Hinata Sorazono’s school is attacked by what
seems to be a bloodsucking vampire. Hinata refuses to believe that
vampires even exist, but then she meets her new neighbor, Junya
Tokinaga, the author of an incredibly popular vampire romance novel.
Dressed in a kimono with an old-world air about him, Junya has a taste
of Hinata’s blood and tells her it’s sweet... Hinata can’t help but be
drawn to Junya, but could it be that he’s actually a vampire—and worse
yet, the culprit behind the attacks?!
“Junya
Tokinaga is a mysterious and handsome man, so readers will swoon along
with Hinata and become captivated by his complicated past and the
bloodthirsty secret he hides,” says Amy Yu, Editor. “The stage is set
for charged passion and love in this sultry series from Miko Mitsuki.”
HONEY BLOOD creator Miko Mitsuki hails from Kagoshima Prefecture in southernmost Japan and debuted with the manga title, Utakata, in 2003. She is currently working on projects for Sho-Comi magazine.
