Los Angeles, CA (February 21, 2007) - Broccoli Books has announced
their boys love imprint name, Boysenberry Books, and will launch it with
three titles. Delivery Cupid, Pet on Duty, and Sex
Friend will be released starting in summer 2007. The website for
Boysenberry Books, boysenberrybooks.com will launch in March 2007.
"We are excited to add a new boys love imprint to Broccoli Books,"
says Broccoli Books publisher Kaname Tezuka. "We selected the name
Boysenberry from fan entries, and the Japanese boys love publishers
were equally delighted with the sweet and tangy implications of
Boysenberry and how it matches the concept of boys love."
Delivery Cupid is a collection of six short stories. The
title story is a romantic comedy about Tsubasa, who is half-human
and half-cupid. In order to become a full cupid, he must successfully
unite a couple. However, the target is an evil man named Norimasa
who shows no love for anyone. When Tsubasa accidentally ends up as
Norimasa's match, the trouble begins. Are Tsubasa and Norimasa
attracted because of cupid magic, or is it true love?
Delivery Cupid is by manga author CJ Michalski and will be
released in July 2007.
Pet on Duty is a romantic comedy featuring Mizuki, who just
lost his job and must stay at his older brother's company dorm.
Since there are no outsiders allowed, Mizuki must live in the dorm
secretly - like a house cat. At first Mizuki is intimidated by
his older brother's roommate Toru, but seeing a softer side of
Toru changes his opinion. Toru treats Mizuki well, but Mizuki
wants to become more than a pet companion.
Pet on Duty is by manga author Nase Yamato. It will be
released in Fall 2007.
Sex Friend is a collection of four short stories. The title
story is about classmates Kyoichi and Yoh who are closer than best
friends, but not exactly lovers. Kyoichi is left wondering if he's
just a convenient sex friend or does their relationship mean more
to Yoh?
Sex Friend is by Koreaki Kamuro and will be released in Fall
2007.
All three titles are single volume manga.
Like the Broccoli Books, some Boysenberry Books titles will be
released as Boysenberry Books DELUXE featuring additional content
from the Japanese edition. More information will be posted online
at boysenberrybooks.com.
