Viz Media just sent out an official press release after announcing at Otakon that they've acquired manga publishing rights for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Adventures, Sweet Blue Flowers and Queen's Quality.  

The clasic manga series, Super Mario Adventures will be released this October.  Written by Kentaro Takekuma and illustrated by Charlie Nozawa, the Supe Mario Adventures manga has long been out of print for more than 20 years.  The series is a collection of comics that originally were printed in the classic Nintendo Power magazine during the early '90s.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is scheduled to be released in English on March 2017.  Where SuperMario Adventures is a reprint of  a classic, Twilight Princess is a new work from Akira Himekawa.  Viz is also home to the best-selling manga series, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Sweet Blue Flowers is a coming of age series from Takako Shimura.  Viz describes the series as following, "Fumi Manjome, an introverted, bookish teenage girl, is beginning her first year of high school at Matsuoka Girls' High School. She enters the school year with her heart broken by a previous relationship. At about the same time, she reconnects with her best friend from ten years ago, Akira Okudaira, who is now attending Fujigatani Girls' Academy as a first-year high school student. As they reconnect, they both deal with their own respective problems, and help each other get through them."   The series will be released Fall 2017.

Queen's Quality is the sequel to QQ Sweeper that's described by Viz as following, "Fumi Nishioka lives with Kyutaro Horikita and his family of "Sweepers," people who specialize in cleaning the minds of those overcome with negative energy and evil spirits. Fumi had displayed mysterious abilities previously, but what will happen when her powers as a Queen begin to awaken?  Kyutaro is a quiet but formidable Sweeper, and he may be the only one who can keep Fumi's powers under control. When he tells her that he'll never leave her side, Fumi unexpectedly starts to fall for him!"  Kyousuke Motomi's Rated T for Teen, this series will also be a part of Viz's Fall 2017 lineup.
