Ikebukuro, Japan - Manga Planet is delighted to announce the license acquisition of the following titles from Shonengahosha.
Raise the Demon
Story and Art: Keito Yoshikawa
Release Date: August 7, 2020
One rainy day while Motoi and his friend, Reiichi were on their way home, they encountered a young girl who looked like a foreigner who then led them to a shop by a hill slope. There, they meet the shop owner, an old man named Shouten, who deals with exotic wildlife - both ordinary and unordinary: demon beasts.
Fascinated by the mysterious beasts the shop holds, Motoi agrees to work and raise a demon. Motoi's journey of encountering different demon beasts begins.
Enoshima Waikiki Cafe
Story and Art: Haruko Okai
Release Date: August 8, 2020
Cafe Waikiki is so empty that owner-chef Yori swears he's been hearing voices. Why isn't he getting any customers? His cooking can't be that bad, and it's not like he's in the wrong location, so what other reason could there be for this to happen?
Sound of the Sky
Story and Art: Hajime Yamamura
Release Date: August 8, 2020
When he was young, Akio, an aspiring violinist, was late to watch his Uncle's orchestra rehearsal when he encountered a girl conducting in front of pigeons. Arriving at the rehearsal by break time, he is surprised to see the girl again. Her name is Hibiki Sonari, the orchestra conductor's daughter, who proceeds to substitute for her father in conducting the orchestra with amazing results.
Deeply moved by Hibiki's sound, Akio seeks to replicate it. But as years go by, he finds himself slowly losing his passion for music. Despite that, he enters college as a violinist and is surprised to know that Hibiki entered the same college as an aspiring conductor. Will Hibiki be able to help Akio find what's lacking in his music?
