| Los Angeles, CA (August 24, 2004) - Broccoli Books, the company known for
localizing the popular manga series Aquarian Age - Juvenile Orion, has
announced that they have acquired the publishing rights for the series Until
the Full Moon. The first volume of Until the Full Moon is set for October
27, 2004, and will be released as an exclusive to Borders Bookstore,
Brentano's Bookstore, Waldenbooks, and Anime Gamers for three months.
Known as Full Moon ni Sasayaite and published by Biblos in Japan, Until the
Full Moon is done by manga artist Sanami Matoh, who also did the well-known
series FAKE.
A two-volume fantasy-romance Manga series, Until the Full Moon is like a
fairy tale, only about vampires and the darker side of the supernatural
spectrum instead. "It's our first non-Broccoli title, and I believe fans of
bishounen titles like Juvenile Orion will enjoy Until the Full Moon," says
managing editor Shizuki Yamashita.
Publisher Hideki Uchino comments, "Juvenile Orion did great at Borders
Group, and we're happy to be continuing our relationship with them on our
newest title."
