Kodansha to Publish English Yakuza Moon Manga

In an interview with Publishers Weekly, writer and editor Sean Michael Wilson reveals the second of four original English language manga he’s writing for Kodansha International. The first book, Hagakure: The Code of the Samurai, a manga adaptation of Yamamoto Tsunetomo’s 1716 book of samurai philosophy In the Shadow of Leaves, was first announced in May. Wilson’s second manga will be an English language adaptation of author Shoko Tendo’s autobiography Yakuza Moon (Yakuza na Tsuki), a memoir about her difficult life as the daughter of a yakuza.

All four of Wilson’s manga will initially be published in Japan, in English language. Kodansha will later distribute the books internationally.
