Malaysian publisher Gempak Starz announced last Friday and Sunday that it has licensed Mamoru Hosoda's Wolf Children novel and Mashiro Ōki's Hanasaku Wedding manga.
Gempak Starz will release the Wolf Children novel with the title Budak Serigala, Ame dan Yuki, and it describes the novel:
A university student named Hana falls in love with a wolf-man, and from their love, they were blessed with two children named Ame and Yuki. Born different as half-man and half-wolf, Ame and Yuki live double lives, living in a small corner of town until their father passed away. Forced to raise her children alone, Hana brings her children to a countryside town in a completely different atmosphere. Can the family stay Together Forever?
Mamoru Hosoda wrote the novel based on his film of the same name, for which he also co-wrote the screenplay with Satoko Okudera. Both the film and the novel debuted in 2012.
Gempak Starz licensed Iqura Sugimoto's manga adaptation of Mamoru Hosoda's Summer Wars anime film, and it released the third and final volume in Malay in March, and in English in May.
Gempak Starz will release the Hanasaku Wedding manga with the title Bunga-Bunga Perkahwinan, and it describes the manga:
My name is Karin Imai, and I'm an ordinary high school girl... or at least I was, until I suddenly became engaged to this cool, rich guy named Arata Shinomiya! Living a life of luxury is pretty hard if you're not used to it, having to learn formal table manners and so on. It's actually pretty tiring!But something about Arata makes my heart pound with curiosity...
Ōki launched the manga in Shogakukan's Ciao magazine in 2016, and ended it in the same year. Shogakukan published the manga's one compiled book volume in March 2017.
