New License #5: The Prince in His Dark Days

Our fifth new announcement is the emotional, rags-to-riches four-volume romantic drama The Prince in His Dark Days by Hiko Yamanaka.

Atsuko’s father is a drunk, and she’s shunned by her classmates as “the poor kid.” Walking the streets in a dark fog of despair, Atsuko cons perverts out of their money to survive. Then, one day, she meets Itaru, the heir to a wealthy family, who happens to look exactly like her. Itaru hatches a plan: Atsuko will live his tedious public life for him, and she will get a taste of the luxuries enjoyed by the 1%. Everybody’s (finally) happy. Right?

Vol. 1 of The Prince in His Dark Days is coming this Fall. (English title tentative.)

See this post on our site for more details on this and our other new announcements, and check back there in exactly one hour for another manga!
