San Francisco, CA, September 15, 2015 –
VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), the largest publisher, distributor and
licensor of manga and anime in North America, delivers new shojo manga
(graphic novel) news today as it announces the launch of the supernatural high school drama QQ SWEEPER on October 6th.
The new series by Kyousuke
Motomi, creator of the bestselling and witty romantic comedy DENGEKI
DAISY, will be published under the Shojo Beat imprint, is rated ‘T’ for
Teens, and will carry a print MSRP of $9.99 U.S. / $12.99 CAN. QQ SWEEPER also launches digitally on October 6th via VIZManga.com
and the VIZ Manga App, as well as from the Nook, Kobo, Kindle, iBooks,
comiXology, and GooglePlay stores. Subsequent volumes of the continuing
series will be published in English twice a year.
In
the series, Kyutaro Horikita, the tall, dark and handsome cleaning
expert of Kurokado High, meets a sleeping maiden at the school: transfer
student Fumi Nishioka! Kyutaro teaches Fumi how to rid the school of
nasty spirits, and unexpectedly how to cleanse her own heart! Fumi’s a
natural at the supernatural, but the true secret behind her cleaning
genius is muddy…
In
the opening volume, in the old building at their school, a mysterious
room has a door that beckons Fumi, even though she shouldn’t be able to
see it. Kyutaro goes in after her, but will he be able to save her
before she’s devoured by otherworldly creatures?
“Kyutaro
is an expert cleaner, both in the physical world sense and in the
spiritual sense,” says Amy Yu, Editor. “As Fumi adjusts to her new life
at her new high school and as Kyutaro’s apprentice, the stage is set for
paranormal adventure and a dose of romantic comedy.”
Manga creator Kyousuke Motomi debuted with Hetakuso Kyupiddo (No Good Cupid), which ran in the Japanese shojo manga magazine, Deluxe Betsucomi, in 2002. She also is the creator of Otokomae! Biizu Kurabu (Handsome! Beads Club) and her series DENGEKI DAISY and BEAST MASTER are both available in North America from VIZ Media.
