Looking for a perfect holiday gift for the manga fan in your circle of friends or family? VIZ Media has your hook-up! VIZ, the largest distributor, publisher, and licensor of manga and anime in North America, is expanding its roster next month with the launch of Bloody Mary.
From the Press Release:
Bloody Mary, Vol. 1, the new shojo manga (graphic novel) series by creator Akaza Samamiya, is rated ‘T’ for Teen and will be published December 1st under the Shojo Beat imprint with an MSRP of $9.99 U.S. / $12.99 CAN. Bloody Mary also launches digitally on the same day via VIZManga.com and the VIZ Manga App, as well as from the Nook, Kobo, Kindle, iBooks, comiXology, and GooglePlay stores.
Future editions of the series will be released quarterly.
“Bloody” Mary is not your typical vampire. He can withstand sunlight, holds a reflection in mirrors, refuses to drink blood–and wants 17-year-old student and priest Maria to kill him. But to Mary’s dismay, Maria doesn’t know how to kill vampires. Desperate to die, Mary agrees to become Maria’s bodyguard until Maria can find a way to kill him at last.
“Bloody Mary is a supernatural drama infused with suspense, cheeky humor, and unique characters. We invite shojo readers to catch the debut of VIZ Media’s new release next month,” says Erica Yee, Editor.
Bloody Mary creator Akaza Samamiya’s other manga works include Hatsukoi Canvas (First Love Canvas), Torikago Syndrome (Birdcage Syndrome), and Ouji wa Tadaima Dekasegichuu (The Prince Is Gone on Business), all of which have been published in the popular Japanese shojo magazine Asuka.
