On the occasion of the Y/Con convention which takes place this weekend, the Akata editions have planned to make some announcements, and the first of them has just fallen: the publisher will publish in France, in the month of February 2025 in the one-shot shoujo collection, the manga Himejima and me.
From its original name Boku no Himejima-kun, this story was initially pre-published in Japan in 2017 in the magazine Bessatsu Hana to Yume published by Hakusensha. We will find an author already well known in our country: Tamekou (My Genderless Boyfriend, Lala’s Wedding, Cuckoo’s Dream…), who signs this work under another pseudonym, namely that of Kôjirô Narihira.
The publisher promises us a scathing, feel-good romantic comedy, mocking imposed standards, and featuring endearing characters who are polar opposites of each other.
Synopsis :
Koga has a crush on the beautiful Himejima, whom he observes in silence. Aaah, Himejima and her beauty, Himejima and her refined manners… In the eyes of this high school student, she represents the perfect girl. Until the day when, while trying to help him, he discovers another reality: Himejima is in reality a boy with a fiery temperament who likes to cross-dress and play with others. Koga has a hard time believing it, but his feelings don’t seem to disappear… It’s the start of a relationship that’s funny to say the least!
