The Mangasplaining podcast and Udon Entertainment announced at San Diego Comic Con 2023 that they will jointly release Kotteri's Veil manga and Nami Sasou's No Roses Without Thorns: My Life As a Shojo Manga Assistant manga in English in 2024.
Jocelyne Allen will translate Veil into English. Kevin Druelle is in charge of lettering. Andrew Woodrow-Butcher is editing the edition. Udon Entertainment will release the manga in print as a two-in-one full-color edition starting in 2024.
The manga is described as:
A chance encounter. A handsome soldier. A beautiful woman. A tentative love affair smolders on the snowy cobblestone streets, out of sight of those that might keep them apart. A manga unlike anything else in English, Veil is a beautifully illustrated full-color romance manga, told in stylish short vignettes, beautiful illustrations, and secret moments. Published in English by Udon in handsome two-volume omnibus collections.
The Veil manga launched in Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha, Ltd.'s Comic Ruelle magazine in 2019.
Rachel Thorn will translate the No Roses Without Thorns: My Life As a Shojo Manga Assistant manga, while Kyla Aiko is in charge of lettering. Deb Aoki is editing the manga. Udon Entertainment will release the manga in a single volume in print in February 2024.
The manga is described as:
What's it like to be a manga creator's assistant, when she's working on the most popular shojo manga in the country?
The 1970's were a golden age for girls manga, or shojo manga, in Japan – but what was it like to create these pages of roses, sparkles and romance? Manga artist Nami Sasou shares some of the not-so-glamorous stories from the ink-stained battlefield of... cute girls' romance manga? A highschool assistant to Suzue Miuchi, the creator of the famously popular Glass Mask, this manga about making manga tells it like it was... with a decidedly "shojo" point of view.
Sasou serialized the one-volume manga in East Press' Matogrosso magazine starting in 2019.
