Publisher NewPOP announced, in a live broadcast this Thursday (7), the publication of the shoujo manga Taiyou no Ie (The House of the Sun, in free translation). The work, written and illustrated by Taamo , was serialized in Japan between 2010 and 2015 in Kodansha's Dessert magazine. In 2014, the production also won the award for best shoujo at the Kodansha Manga Award. The Brazilian edition will have 13 volumes.
According to NewPOP, while presenting a light and funny tone, the manga also addresses, with well-developed characters, deeper issues such as family relationships and marital problems. As pointed out during the livestream, the choice of this title also stems from the publisher's desire to break some stereotypes associated with shoujo productions and, thus, bring them to new audiences.
The work doesn't yet have a Portuguese title, and there's currently no release date. Taiyou no Ie is part of the Sakura imprint, which targets the shoujo and josei demographics. Other manga, such as Perfect World , have also been announced under the same imprint.
Synopsis:
Mao is a girl who suffers from her absent family, causing her to spend more time at the house of her brothers Hina, Daiki, and Hiro than at her own. However, an accident occurs with her friends' parents, and the house that was once full of joy is filled with sadness. But something unexpected happens, and Hiro invites her to live with him in the house that was once full of love and happiness. Thus, two people with deeply wounded hearts will do everything they can to return that house to its former glory.
