VIZ MEDIA’S GLOBAL YAOI IMPRINT SUBLIME LAUNCHES ACCLAIMED MANGA SERIES THE WORLD’S GREATEST FIRST LOVE
Savor One Of Yaoi’s Most Popular Series About A Handsome Young Man Who Rekindles A Long Lost Love With An Old Flame
San Francisco, CA, April 17, 2015 – SuBLime, the global yaoi manga imprint of leading North American manga publisher VIZ Media, announces its first print release of 2015 with the debut of THE WORLD'S GREATEST FIRST LOVE, now available.
The
acclaimed series by famed yaoi creator Shungiku Nakamura about a
passionate romance between a manga editor and his boss is rated ‘M’ for
Mature Readers. Individual volumes will carry an MSRP of $12.99 U.S. /
$14.99 CAN with future editions of the continuing series set for
publication on a bi-monthly basis.
When
Ritsu Onodera changes jobs, looking for a fresh start, he's not exactly
thrilled to learn his new boss is an old flame. Ritsu's determined to
leave all that in the past—but how can he when his boss is just as
determined that they have a future? In the series’ opening volume, tired
of accusations that family connections got him his current position,
Ritsu Onodera quits his job as an editor at his father's company and
transfers to Marukawa Publishing. Once there, he is assigned to the
shojo manga editorial department – something he has no interest in and
no experience with! Having sworn he'd never fall in love again, the last
thing he wants to do is work on love stories. To make matters worse, it
turns out that his overbearing boss, Masamune Takano, is actually his
first love from high school!
“THE
WORLD'S GREATEST FIRST LOVE has been the most consistently requested
title for English release and we are very excited for its addition to
the SuBLime catalog,” says SuBLime Editor Jennifer LeBlanc. “Shungiku
Nakamura is one of the most renowned creators within the yaoi genre and
her story about a handsome young man discovering that his new boss is
actually an old boyfriend is sure to captivate readers.”
Shungiku Nakamura is one of the most popular yaoi creators worldwide. She is best known for her series Junjo Romantica, which was adapted into both an anime series and drama CD. Her current series, THE WORLD'S GREATEST FIRST LOVE, appears in Japan in Emerald magazine and has been adapted into an anime series. Her other English-language title, Hybrid Child, is also being turned into an anime release.
