Last Thursday, the Gene pixiv manga website’s official Twitter account shared exciting news. Waka Kakitsubata, the artist behind “My Sweet Tyrant,” and Yuzu Tsubaki, the writer of “Minato’s Laundromat,” joined forces to create a brand-new manga called “Keyaki Shōtengai Sakura no Yu” (Sakura Hot Bath in Keyaki Shopping District). This highly anticipated manga is set to debut on the website on July 7th, delighting fans with their collaborative masterpiece.
The manga revolves around Tatsumi Azuma, a charismatic third-year high school student known for his exceptional communication abilities, and Shunpei Eguchi, a rugged second-year student. A chance encounter leads Tatsumi to unintentionally injure Shunpei’s hand. Worried about potential repercussions, Tatsumi impulsively offers to compensate for the injury in any way possible. Seizing the opportunity, Shunpei requests Tatsumi’s assistance at his family’s public bathhouse. Thus, a heartwarming tale between the two protagonists unfolds.
