VIZ MEDIA OPENS 2016 WITH THE LAUNCH OF SHOJO MANGA SERIES HONEY SO SWEET
An
Act Of Kindness From Her Past Leads To An Unlikely Romance Between A
Nice Girl And Her High School’s Most Notorious Delinquent
San Francisco, CA, December 10, 2015 –
VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), the largest distributor and licensor of
manga and anime in North America, delivers its first shojo series of the
year with the launch of HONEY SO SWEET on January 5th.
Manga
creator Amu Meguro delivers an endearing romantic comedy about an
unlikely relationship that blossoms between a pair of seemingly
mismatched high school students. HONEY SO SWEET is her first title to be
published in English.
The
series is rated ‘T’ for Teen and will be published in print under the
Shojo Beat imprint with an MSRP of $9.99 U.S. / $12.99 CAN. HONEY SO
SWEET also launches digitally on January 5th via VIZManga.com
and the VIZ Manga App, as well as from the Nook, Kobo, Kindle, iBooks,
comiXology, and GooglePlay stores. New volumes will be released on a
quarterly basis.
Little
did Nao Kogure realize that back in middle school when she left an
umbrella and a box of bandages in the rain for injured delinquent Taiga
Onise she would meet him again in high school. Nao wants nothing to do
with the gruff and frightening Taiga, but he suddenly presents her with a
huge bouquet of flowers and asks her to date him – with marriage in
mind! Is Taiga really so scary, or is he a sweetheart in disguise?
“Enchanting, fanciful artwork and an endearing ensemble cast make HONEY SO SWEET a special new series for our readers,” says Nancy Thistlethwaite, Senior Editor.
“Amu Meguro is a talented new force on the shojo manga scene and fans
will not want to miss the debut of this heartwarming romance.”
Newcomer Amu Meguro debuted with her one-shot manga, A Kiss for a Bright Red Apple. HONEY SO SWEET is her current series and runs in the Japanese shojo manga magazine Bessatsu Margaret.
