In the upcoming June issue of Kodansha’s Dessert magazine, it was announced on Wednesday that Non Tamashima’s manga “My Boyfriend in Orange” (Moekare wa Orange-iro) will resume serialization starting from the magazine’s next issue on May 24.
The manga had been on hiatus since August 2022 due to Tamashima’s expected childbirth that fall, with plans to resume serialization in the winter of that year.
Kodansha USA Publishing is responsible for digitally publishing the manga in English, providing the following synopsis:
“Hot firemen, now in the world of shojo manga! High school student Moe has moved to a new town after the death of her father. Moe’s already having enough trouble fitting into her new class as it is, so she’s totally mortified when she ends up being “rescued” by local firefighter Kyōsuke during a fire drill … in front of all the kids at school. But the embarrassing incident might be a blessing in disguise, because gruff-but-kind Kyōsuke gives Moe the courage she needs to leap out of her comfort zone as she aims to leave her loner days behind. Not to mention she’s soon falling head over heels for him…!”
The manga originally debuted in Kodansha’s Dessert magazine back in May 2016, with the 13th compiled volume released by Kodansha in July 2022. Kodansha USA also published the 13th volume in English in January 2023.
Additionally, the manga served as the inspiration for a live-action film, which premiered in July 2022. The film achieved the fourth position in its opening weekend rankings.
