It was announced on Friday that Miko Mitsuki’s manga “Shōnen Bride -Dansō Reijō to Kuro Shosei-” (Boy Bride -The Cross-Dressing Lady and Black Student-) will enter its final arc in the next issue of the magazine on April 19, marking the manga’s return following the conclusion of its latest arc on February 5.
The manga follows the story of Ren, who hails from a prestigious family and disguises herself as a man, posing as the family’s only son. However, Ren’s true identity as a woman is discovered by a student named Kazuomi, leading to a clandestine romance between them.
Originally introduced as a one-shot in Shogakukan’s Sho-ComiX magazine in January 2020, the manga transitioned into full serialization in Sho-ComiX in May 2020 before moving to Sho-Comi in March 2023. Shogakukan released the first compiled volume of the manga in January 2021, followed by the ninth volume on March 26.
Prior to “Shōnen Bride,” Miko Mitsuki concluded her manga “Teito Hatsukoi Shinjū” in November 2020, which had been serialized in Sho-Comi since December 2016. The manga also featured a side story chapter published in the “February 14” issue of Sho-ComiX in January 2021.
Mitsuki’s manga “Honey Blood,” launched in Sho-Comi in 2008, saw its second and final volume released in 2010. Viz Media subsequently published the manga under its Shojo Beat line.
