Naru Narumi is having a busy, successful summer! First off, the creator’s previous and provocatively titled manga Watari-kun’s ****** Is about to Collapse (Watari-kun no xx ga Hōkaisunzen in Japanese) is getting an anime that debuts this July. Secondly, it was just announced that Narumi is also starting a brand-new manga series that comes out in the June 20 issue of Monthly Young Magazine from Kodansha.
The new series is called Norainu to Tenshi-chan (translated as Stray Dog and Angel), and it follows a 20-year-old man named Toji. Something happened in Toji’s past that makes him not want to be around a lot of people or get noticed by them. Then he meets Sakuya, a girl with an amazing memory who is awkward at school. The two move in together.
The manga’s opening page will be in color.
Narumi is also the creator of Ms. Koizumi loves ramen noodles (Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san), which additionally has an anime adaptation. This manga title is available in America through Dark Horse Comics.
Kodansha USA Publishing is releasing Watari-kun’s ****** Is about to Collapse in English and gave this description for the plot:
Watari-kun’s ****** Is about to Collapse Plot
Naoto Watari has had his share of struggles: his parents died two years ago, and now he and his sister live at his aunt’s house. There, his desire to protect his sister earned him notoriety as “the guy with the sister complex”—which never mattered to him, as his sister always came first. But when Satsuki, a childhood friend-turned-enemy(?), becomes his school mate, Naoto’s ordinary life is thrown into chaos … and Satsuki may just be the beginning.
Kodansha is releasing the manga as a digital-only title, as opposed to also offering it in print.
