Kodansha's YanMaga Web platform
announced that renowned mangaka Ryuta Amazume will premiere a
new project on September 11. The work will be titled Omae
no Kao wo Tashikametai (I want to see your expression) and will mark
the return of the author after the end of his previous series.
History
with provocative overtones
The manga
focuses on Madoka Misumi, a woman with a very active sex life, who
one day meets Tōru One, an invisible man. Fascinated with the idea
of experiencing "invisible sex," Madoka begins to live with him in a
no-strings-attached relationship. However, what starts as a casual agreement
ends up evolving into a romantic bond between the two.
Amazume's
recent projects
The mangaka
concluded his Jofū series in March, which was born
from a one-shot published in 2021 in Hakusensha's Young
Animal magazine. The full serialization began in December 2021 and
closed with a total of seven volumes, the last of which was published on May
29.
Nana to
Kaoru's legacy
Amazume is
known worldwide for Nana to Kaoru, launched in 2008 in Young Animal
Arashi magazine and later moved to the main Young Animal magazine
in 2009. The work was completed in 2016 and was licensed
internationally by FAKKU and Denpa, which has been
distributing the series in 3-in-1 compilation editions since 2022.
The success
of Nana to Kaoru inspired an OVA, two
live-action films, and several spin-offs, including Nana to Kaoru:
Black Label, concluded in 2014, and Nana to Kaoru ~Kōkōsei no SM
Gokko~, which ran from 2018 to 2021, showcasing the lives of the
protagonists in their third year of high school.
Expectations
for his new work
With a
proposal that mixes eroticism and romance in an unconventional context, Ryuta
Amazume's followers hope to discover how the author will surprise again
with Omae no Kao wo Tashikametai in his debut this September.
