Suu Minazuki, the acclaimed manga artist known for Heaven’s Lost Property, is set to launch a new manga series titled Saigo no Negai ni Tsuki ga Naku (The Moon Cries at My Last Wish) on August 26. The new series will debut in Kadokawa’s Shōnen Ace magazine.
A New Tale of Humans Versus Vampires
The September issue of Kadokawa’s Shōnen Ace magazine made the announcement, teasing Saigo no Negai ni Tsuki ga Naku as a “humans vs. vampires” story. The plot will center on two childhood friends, Niizuki and Asahi, who live on a small island.
The narrative takes a dark turn when Asahi, usually wary of the night, attends a summer festival in their village. During the festival, Asahi inadvertently unseals a local shrine, unleashing an angelic yet bewitching vampire girl who transforms the festivities into a massacre.
