At Anime Expo this weekend, Crunchyroll announced the manga titles that will be added to their digital library for premium members to enjoy. You can look forward to reading: Princess Jellyfish, Takahashi-san is Listening, Scum’s Wish, Sweetness and Lighting and The Morose Mononokean.
The wonderful Princess Jellyfish, written by Akiko Higashimura, follows a young woman named Tsukimi, who loves jellydish. She draws and studies the gracefulness of jellyfish and dreams of becoming as beautiful as the creatures she loves. Oh, but Tsukimi lives in an all-female otaku (overly-obsessed fan) apartment building with a train otaku, a history otaku, and others who are just obsessed over their passion as she is, but are terrified to interact with outsiders. Tsukimi rescues a jellyfish and meets a beautiful woman all in the same night. Watch the anime or read the manga to find out more about Tsukimi and her love of jellyfish in the heartwarming and hilarious tale: Princess Jellyfish!
Crunchyroll describes the story for Takahashi-san is Listening, by Yu Hokuo:
“High school student idol, Ena Takahashi, has a hobby she can’t tell anyone about… and that is listening in on the ridiculous conversations of class representative, Nara-kun, and the plain boy Mikage-kun. If her secret is discovered, people’s trust in her will be destroyed! She wants to retort, but she can’t! The eavesdropping short-gag manga, full of tension and guilty conscience begins!”
Crunchyroll describes the story for Scum’s Wish, by Mengo Yokoyari:
“Hanabi and Mugi are bathed in envious gazers from all around as a beautiful couple with excellent moral conduct. But these two apparently perfect people in an apparently perfect relationship share a secret they can’t tell anyone.”
Crunchyroll describes Sweetness and Lightning’s, by Gido Amagakure:
“Having lost his wife, math teacher Kouhei Inuzuka is doing his best to raise his young daughter, Tsumugi, as a single father. He’s pretty bad at cooking and doesn’t have a huge appetite to begin with, but chance brings his little family and one of his students, Kotori Iida, together for homemade adventures. With those three cooks in the kitchen, it’s no wonder this dinner table drama is so delicious.”
Crunchyroll’s description of The Morose Mononokean, created by Kiri Wazawa:
“Shiya has spent the first seven days of high school stuck in the infirmary because of a youkai attaching itself to him. He ends up asking the owner of a small tea room called “Mononokean” for help. This is volume 1 of the mysterious stories involving the very morose owner of Mononokean, guiding the youkai that happened to wander into this world in order to go to the next world.”
