Manga creator Kaoru Mori revealed in a “Kinkyо̄ Oshirase Iroiro Manga” update that a new company Yukiwarisо̄ will publish Mori’s A Bride’s Story and Aki Irie‘s Go with the Clouds, North by Northwest, since Kadokawa‘s Aokishi magazine had stopped serializing their works last February. Yukiwarisо̄ will also publish Ichika Ootsuka’s Piccolina, Moe Yasubara’s Aubrey, Masahiko Dairaku’s Guratatо̄ Nikki, a work by Tomoya Sakata, and more from other new writers.
Yukiwarisо̄ will not feature a magazine format, but Mori confirmed that the serialization pace and compiled book volume releases will remain similar to before. Mori also revealed that her Emma manga will be republished, her Shirley manga will get a third volume, and that she will release a collection of short stories.
The 24th A and B issues of Kadokawa‘s Aokishi magazine on February 18 announced a renewal of the magazine, which saw some works continuing and other works going in a different direction. Among those works, both Mori and Irie would no longer have their works published in the magazine. The magazine issues previously stated that Mori “plans to search for a new form of publication” for her manga, and also confirmed Irie would continue her works in the future.
Both A Bride’s Story and Go with the Clouds, North by Northwest moved to Aokishi from the Harta magazine when the former launched.
Mori (Emma, Shirley) launched A Bride’s Story in 2008 in the Fellows! magazine. The manga moved to Harta in 2013. Yen Press is releasing the manga in English.
Irie (Ran And The Gray World) launched Go with the Clouds, North by Northwest in 2016 in Harta. Vertical licensed the manga in 2018, and Kodansha USA Publishing is now releasing the manga in English..
