In
Bisco Hatori’s acclaimed series, seventeen-year-old Chiyuki
Matsuoka was born with heart problems, and her doctors say she won’t
live to see the next snow. Toya is an 18-year-old vampire who hates
blood and refuses to make the traditional partnership with a human,
whose life-giving blood would keep them both alive for a thousand
years.
“Manga
fans internationally delighted in the news that Bisco Hatori was
resuming work on MILLENNIUM SNOW and we’re very excited to
celebrate the return of the landmark series in English after nearly 7
years,” says Pancha Diaz, Editor. “The new volume continues the
winning mix of paranormal romantic drama and comedic fun between
Chiyuki and Toya and more than a few surprising plots twists are
in-store in the new release! Are they still destined to spend the
millennium together?”
Bisco
Hatori made her manga debut with Isshun
kan no Romance (A
Moment of Romance)
in LaLa
DX magazine.
The comedy OURAN
HUGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB (also published by VIZ Media’s Shojo Beat)
was
her breakout hit.
