Run Away With Me, Girl in Kodansha & Vertical July 2022 solicits

Kodansha is the largest Japanese publishing company, and republishes its work in the USA for the English speaking market, including the Vertical imprint. As we all know, manga is exploding in America because it refuses to kowtow to demands of diversity, especially amongst sexual orientation, that superhero comics have become such a victim of. Anyway, with that in mind, here are the Kodansha and Vertical July 2022 solicits and solicitations beginning with a new series Run Away With Me, Girl, in which two women who used to be high school girlfriends meet again later in life. Fancy.

RUN AWAY WITH ME GIRL GN VOL 01
KODANSHA COMICS

Maki's first love was her high school classmate, a girl named Midori. But Midori broke up with Maki at graduation, saying they were now "too old to be fooling around dating girls." Ten years later, Maki still can't get Midori off her mind, and when the two women reconnect after a chance encounter, Maki realizes that while her feelings haven't changed, Midori's life has turned upside down-she's engaged and pregnant. But the more Maki hears Midori talk about her soon-to-be-husband, the more red flags she notices. Before Maki can stop herself, she asks Midori to run away with her. Will this impromptu escape be the key that leads the two women to a fuller understanding of themselves, and back into each other's arms?
