Mark your calendars for May 4th my friends – a new romantic manga this way comes thanks to VIZ!

The manga in question is called “FLOWER IN A STORM” and marks the debut of Shigeyoshi Takagi in the graphic novel market. Shigeyoshi Takagi ran the 2 volume series in the Japanese magazines Lala and Lala DX, which is also the home of the VAMPIRE KNIGHT series.

So what is the new manga about story-wise? Well, I’ve already told you it’s a romantic manga so what else do you need to know really? Oh, alright then:

Riko Kunimi is trying to lead a normal high school life when Ran Tachibana bursts into her classroom carrying a gun and tells her that her life is now his. Ran, who is the richest and most powerful 17-year-old in Japan, wants her as his wife, and he’s not taking no for an answer!

If Ran can’t capture her by five o’clock the next day, he’ll give up, but he has all that money can buy at his disposal. However, Riko has one trick up her sleeve—she has superpowers!

The series can be found under the Shojo Beat imprint, will be rated “T+” for Older Teens and will cost about $9.99US or $12.99CAN. And don’t forget to look for it starting May 4th!
