Los Angeles, CA (July 10, 2006) – Broccoli Books has announced the acquisition
of two manga titles, Galaxy Angel II and Kon Kon Kokon at Anime Expo 2006.
Galaxy Angel II is the third installment in the popular Galaxy Angel series,
focusing on a new group of girls known as the Lune Angel Troupe. One of the girls,
Apricot Sakuraba, is determined to find other "gate keepers" to free her older
sister Milfuelle from the doomed fate. The original Galaxy Angel cast of
the now disbanded Moon Angel Troupe also makes an appearance in the Galaxy Angel II
manga series. Galaxy Angel II is illustrated by Kanan, and the story is
written by BROCCOLI. Galaxy Angel II is slated to be released in Spring
2007.
Kon Kon Kokon is a romantic comedy about fox girl Kokon, who came to Tokyo
to repay her thanks to Ren. Ren is a country bumpkin who is trying to hide the fact
that he is a Japanese demon otaku. Kon Kon Kokon is the newest series by
Koge-Donbo, the creator of Di Gi Charat and manga artist of Pita-Ten.
Kon Kon Kokon will be released in the United States in Spring 2007.
Managing Editor Shizuki Yamashita comments, "We are pleased to bring more Galaxy
Angel and Koge-Donbo goodness to the United States. I believe both old fans
of the Galaxy Angel series and new fans that are going to start reading
with Galaxy Angel II can enjoy the newest installment of the Galaxy Angel
universe. And for Kon Kon Kokon, Koge-Donbo herself mentioned that it is
similar to Pita-Ten, so those who liked Pita-Ten will surely enjoy
Kokon and her adventures."
