Chihiro
drifts through life with no purpose, going from girl to girl, until one day he
finds an abandoned kitten in a box. He quickly falls in love with little Shiro
and couldn’t imagine his life without her. One evening, Chihiro finds Shiro has
fallen ill. While searching aimlessly for an animal hospital, he runs into
Kumazawa, a local vet who takes Shiro into his care. Watching Kumazawa in
action, Chihiro realizes he wishes to learn the value of life and asks Kumazawa
to consider hiring him at the vet clinic. Kumazawa agrees, but only if Chihiro
serves as his live-in housekeeper. Has Chihiro finally found his purpose in
life, or will living with the handsome vet be a little too much to handle?
Norikazu
Akira is also the creator of the manga series Twin’s Labyrinth, Heart Strings, and Beast & Feast.

MOUNTAIN by Bohra Naono ·
Rated ‘M’ for Mature Readers ·
MSRP: $12.99 US / $14.99 CAN · Available Now!
Way
up in the mountains, far from any major cities or towns, Kaya Susugi runs a
small café
by day and guards a haunted cemetery by night. Then, one night, he comes across
werewolf brothers Taro and Jiro. Cheerful but klutzy younger brother Jiro
quickly falls head over heels for the capable loner Kaya. What results is a
dive into the hot, tail-twitching delight of werewolf mating season!
Bohra
Naono has created over 20 manga series, some of which have been adapted into
drama CDs. She has also published “doujinshi” (independent comics) under the
pen name of “NAIFU.” THREE WOLVES MOUNTAIN is Bohra Naono's second
English-language release, with her first being Yokai's Hunger.
“The
summer heats up in a sexy way with our publication of THREE WOLVES MOUNTAIN and
HONEY DARLING in June,” says Jennifer LeBlanc, Editor, SuBLime. “THREE WOLVES
MOUNTAIN creator Bohra Naono is one of the most requested creators among yaoi
fans. In THREE WOLVES MOUNTAIN, readers will learn of all the strange things
that go bump in the night at a foreboding cemetery as well as the love that
binds two people together – even if one of them is a werewolf! HONEY DARLING is
also not to be missed with its heartwarming tale of an unlikely love between a
vet and his live-in housekeeper.”
