In 2006, Japan released the yaoi hit, A Vampire and His Pleasant Companions. The series is written by Narise Konohara and illustrated by Marimo Ragawa and has published four volumes so far but is also an ongoing series.
Giving a twist to what western fans have probably seen in the Twilight series, the series tells the story of an American vampire who finds himself in Japan under the care of a mysterious man who has caught his eye. The series has been a significant hit among readers, who clamor for a new volume whenever it is released.
As the series continues in Japan, there has been an almost certain expectation that the series would make its way to the west. However, it was not until this month that the fans finally had their answer!
During the Anime Expo Lite event, publishing company Yen Press announced a large amount of licensing acquisitions that include Konohara and Ragawa's series! With the series coming this winter, fans in the west will not have to wait long for their copies to take home. Make sure to share your thoughts on the news in the comments section!
