The creator of BLUE SPRING and NO. 5, Taiyo Matsumoto, has a new manga making its way into the VIZ Signature collection – GOGO MONSTER.

GOGO MONSTER centres around a Third Grader named Yuki Tachibana, and he lives in two worlds. In one world, Yuki is a loner. He is teased by his classmates and scolded by his teachers for his stories about supernatural beings that only Yuki can see. In the other world, these supernatural beings are battling for power opposite evil spirits who are making things in the students’ lives, at the school, and in nature itself chaotic.

Gonzalo Ferreyra, Vice President Sales & Marketing, VIZ Media:

“Taiyo Matsumoto’s clever stories and striking art have placed him among the best of a new generation of influential manga artists and we are privileged to present GOGO MONSTER to U.S. audiences,” says Gonzalo. “This story continues to show Matsumoto’s fascination with youth as he seamlessly blends themes of alienation with the paranormal. For anyone with an overactive imagination or has even just daydreamed during class, GOGO MONSTER offers an emotional tale that shows how what we see and imagine, whether real or imaginary, shapes our personality in profound ways.”

GOGO MONSTER will be out on November 17th. It will be rated ‘T’ for Teens, and will cost $27.99 U.S, or $36.00 CAN. For more information on ths and any other manga titles available from VIZ, you can visit www.VizSignature.com or www.Sigikki.com.
