High school student Tasuku Mizuochi has a secret he knows and a secret he doesn't. Even though he punches, kicks, and otherwise abuses fellow karate team member, Ryouta, on a daily basis, Tasuku has hidden feelings for his childhood friend. When Tasuku's mother died, Ryouta was always there to comfort him, and these emotions grew over time to become something else. Confused and embarrassed by his secret crush, Tasuku takes his frustrations out on Ryouta to keep him from ever knowing the truth. When Tasuku learns that his late mother may have been an “ageman” (ah-gay-man) – a woman who brings men good fortune – he starts to believe he's inherited these powers, too. Can having the ability to influence luck give Tasuku and Ryouta a future together? Or will all the people crawling out of the woodwork wanting to use Tasuku's power cause him to run screaming for the hills?!
BRILLIANT BLUE VOL. 1 written and illustrated by SAEMI YORITA - Rated YA+ (Ages 16+), 5" x 7.2", MSRP: $12.95 US, Yaoi Manga, Available In Stores: May 6, 2009

When Shouzo Mita left home, he thought it would be for good. Although he followed his father's career path as a construction manager, Shouzo never wanted to enter the family business – that is, until dad got laid-up with an injury. Forced to return home and oversee his father's company, Shouzo finds that a lot of things haven't changed, but some things have. Nanami, a childhood acquaintance, has gone from being an awkward fatty to a sparkling pretty-boy straight out of a shojo manga. As an electrician contracted to work for Mita, Nanami's simple, naive charm and healthy appetite manage to flip Shouzo's switch. With the choice between remaining independent and accepting responsibility for his family even more complicated, what will Shouzo do?
