Honey Blood
Viz Media has made a new licensing announcement today with the pickup of Honey Blood, a series from Miko Mitsuki. Mitsuki has a slew of short run titles to their name over the years and this one is known as Mitsu Aji Blood in its original writing. The series began in 2008 and is listed as three volumes and completed with its serialization in Sho-Comi in Japan with a total of fifteen chapters. Viz Media intends to release the first volume of their translation of it in October of this year.
Plot concept: When a girl at Hinata Sorazono’s school is attacked by what seems to be a blood-sucking vampire, everyone is on edge and wonders who’s next. 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?!
