Yaoi Press Launches YA Line

And Licenses Italian Titles

Published: 09/19/2006 12:00am

Yaoi Press is launching two new series for young adult readers (13+).  Surge will launch in November and Zesty in January.  

 

Particular focus will be paid to Zesty, which is a Webcomic on the Yaoi Press Website.  It will have fully rendered screen-tone shading (the Web version is inked line-work), and will add an interior color page to the traditional b/w manga format. 

 

Zesty follows Zesty Tastee, a wealthy playboy who secretly fights against his father's corrupt business.  

 

Yaoi has also licensed three Italian yaoi volumes for older audiences.  First up is Idol, by the studio Dany&Dany, about a painter who hires a hustler to model for him.  It will be released in January. 

 

Wishing for the Moon is a gothic Dany&Dany title.  Love Circles, by Zel, is about a college student who falls for the BMOC he asks to help him become more successful with girls.
