The 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 maintaining a light and humorous tone, the manga also addresses deeper issues, such as family relationships and marital problems, through well-developed characters. As pointed out in the live stream, the choice of this title also stems from the publisher's desire to break some stereotypes associated with shoujo productions and, in this way, bring them to other audiences.
The work does not yet have a title in Portuguese and, for now, there is no release date scheduled. Taiyou no Ie is part of the Sakura label, aimed at shoujo and josei demographics. Other manga, such as Perfect World by Rie Aruga, have also been announced under the same label.
Synopsis:
Mao is a girl who suffers from her absent family, leading her to spend much more time at the home of siblings Hina, Daiki, and Hiro than at her own. However, an accident occurs involving her friends' parents, and the house, once full of joy, is overtaken by sadness. But something unexpected happens: 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 restore that house to its former glory.
