801 Media-Digital Manga Publishing's Adult Yaoi Imprint-Announces the Acquisition of Under Grand Hotel




Gardena, CA (December 7, 2009)-801 Media, Digital Manga Publishing's adult yaoi imprint, is excited to announce the acquisition of the heavily fan-requested title: Under Grand Hotel by Mika Sadahiro (creator of Pathos)! Controversial, explicit, yet ultimately fascinating, Under Grand Hotel takes place in a prison that the prisoners have nicknamed the "Under Grand Hotel". A two-part series, the story revolves around two inmates, Sen and Swordfish, and the power politics involved to survive a prison that houses the most dangerous inmates around!

In a new first, 801 Media will preserve the special trim size of this title (4 1/8" x 5 7/8"), and it will hold a special price of $24.95 for each volume for their large volume count (over 320 pages for each book!)

UNDER GRAND HOTEL VOL. 1, Rated M+ (for ages 18+), MSRP: $24.95, Available: June 2010, 4 1/8"x 5 7/8", Over 300 pages!, 801 Media

After killing the husband of his lover, Sen is sent to a prison nicknamed the "Under Grand Hotel", which houses some of the most violent and corrupt offenders. Good-looking and rather soft for prison, Sen is forced to seek protection from Swordfish, the proclaimed leader of the prison. But when their relationship turns from one of convenience to one that may be more involved, can they protect each other in a place where the law has no bearing? Mika Sadahiro's (Pathos) controversial and fan-favorite title is finally available for the first time in print in English!
