The First Three Titles of Luv Luv's Romantic and Sexy 2008 Line Up Announced!

Torrance, California (October 22, 2007) — Aurora Publishing, Inc. brings “passionate manga for women” to America with their new Luv Luv imprint. Extremely popular in Japan, but never before available as a genre in the U.S., Ladies Comics are Romantic, hot and sexy manga about modern women and the men they love. Manga from Luv Luv feature more realistic sexual content and more mature storylines and themes than are presently found in the manga currently available to women in America. All of the Luv Luv graphic novels depict Romantic and physical relationships with nothing held back. Why let guys have all the fun? More information can be found on the Luv Luv website: <www.luvluv-press.com> , which is set to go live on December 1, 2007.

“Describing real issues and feelings that modern women have in general, Ladies Comics have become very popular in Japan” says Mr. Nobuo Kitawaki, president of Aurora Publishing and its parent company Ohzora Publishing. “We are very thrilled with introducing the genre to American market, and confident that American ladies would find these manga titles attractive and enjoyable as well.”

The initial launch title from Luv Luv is VOICES OF LOVE by Kanae Hazuki, which will be released on January, 2008. VOICES OF LOVE is a collection of five Romantic, hot and sexy stories, created just for women. The title story, VOICES OF LOVE, is about a relationship between Mika Tsukahara, a young teacher, and Naokazu Kuga, an 18-year-old student at her school. Coincidentally, they are neighbors as well and are unable to control their attraction to each other as they explore the concept of “love thy neighbor!” All other LuvLuv stories echo with the Voices of Love, too.

Sizzling into March 2008 from Luv Luv is REAL LOVE by Mitsuki Oda. This collection of sexy, eye-opening love stories includes Real Love, Baby, and Love Star. In these three stories, Mitsuki Oda portrays realistic emotional and physical relationships, creating passionate love affairs for women to enjoy.
