M&C! Licenses Hatsukoi My Home, Koi Furu Colorful Manga

Indonesian publisher M&C! announced last week that it has licensed Yuki Morita's Be with My First Love (Hatsukoi My Home) and Ai Minase's Colorful Love (Koi Furu Colorful - Zenbu Kimi to Hajimete) manga. The company will release the first volumes of both manga on December 21.

M&C! describes Be with My First Love:

In middle school, Mei had a crush on Nagase. When she finally worked up the courage to tell him her feelings, he turned her down. Half a year later, family circumstances forced Mei to live in Nagase's house. While the situation between them is awkward, Mei can't help but think she might have another chance on the love she had once given up on.

Morita launched the manga in Shogakukan's Ciao magazine in January 2015, and published new chapters in March, May, and August 2015 (which served as the final chapter). Shogakukan published the manga's second and final compiled book volume in November 2015. M&C! previously published Morita's How to be a Girl (Onna no Ko no Hajimekata), KISS, Secret x Secret (Himitsu x Himitsu), and Catching Your Love (Sawatari-san o Kōryaku Suru Hōhō) manga.

M&C! describes Colorful Love:

In her elementary school days, Mashiro fell in love with a boy named Haruto. Four years later, a boy transfers schools from Tokyo to her school, with the exact same name: Haruto Yuuki. But when Mashiro asks him if he's the same person, he denies it, and begins to treat her coldly. Somehow, Mashiro slowly begins to fall in love with this distant but kind Haruto. What will become of her first love gone astray?

Minase launched the manga in Shogakukan's Sho-Comi magazine in 2015. Shogakukan published the manga's fifth compiled book volume on October 26. M&C! is publishing Minase's First Love Honey (Hachimitsu ni Hatsukoi) manga, and published the manga's 10th compiled book volume on January 20.
