A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL MARCHES TO HER OWN BEAT
An
Outspoken Outsider With Amazing Singing Talent
Tries To Fit In And Still
Maintain Her Hard Edge
In The Latest Manga Series From VIZ Media’s Shojo Beat
Imprint
VIZ Media debuts the poignant shojo
manga (graphic novel) series, A DEVIL AND HER LOVE SONG, now available. The new
title, published under the company’s Shojo Beat imprint, is rated ‘T’ for Teens
and carries an MSRP of $9.99 U.S. / $12.99 CAN.
Meet Maria Kawai – she’s gorgeous
and whip-smart, a girl who seems to have it all. But when she unleashes her
sharp tongue, it’s no wonder some consider her to be the very devil! Maria’s
difficult ways even get her kicked out of an elite school, but this particular
fall may actually turn out to be her saving grace... Maria’s frank nature gains
her more enemies at her new school, but her angelic singing voice inadvertently
catches the attention of Yusuke Kanda and Shin Meguro. Can these boys mend her
hardened heart, or will they just end up getting scorched?
“Maria Kawai, an outspoken and radically
honest girl who struggles to fit in at a new school, is beautiful and has an
amazing singing voice, but isn’t the least bit concerned with being nice or
popular,” says Amy Yu, Editor. “When she gets bullied by
fellow classmates, two
boys step up to aid her—Yusuke Kanda, a cheerful and
popular guy who always tries to avoid conflict, and Shin Meguro, a moody
outsider who tends to keep to himself. All these characters are dealing with
something that we all struggle with—trying to figure out who we truly are and accepting
ourselves even though the community asks us to be someone we’re not. It’s an
engaging new series that offers a lot of depth, and we’re proud to have it be a
part of the Shojo Beat imprint.”
Manga creator Miyoshi Tomori made
her debut in 2001, and her previous titles have included Hatsukare (First Boyfriend), Tongari
Root (Square Root), and Brass Love!! Her
current series, A DEVIL AND HER LOVE SONG, was featured
in Japan in the popular shojo magazine Margaret.
