Viz Media has announced the debut of Red Girls for April:

VIZ Media’s Haikasoru literary imprint is excited to debut Kazuki Sakuraba’s engrossing RED GIRLS: THE LEGEND OF THE AKAKUCHIBAS! Winner of the Mystery Writers of Japan Award, RED GIRLS is a riveting, multi-generational saga of matriarchs, manga, and murder. This textured mystery is available in English for the first time digitally and in print on April 21st.

When the outlanders abandoned a baby girl on the outskirts of a village, few imagined that she would grow up to marry into the illustrious Akakuchiba family, much less that she would develop clairvoyant abilities and become matriarch of the illustrious ironworking clan. Her daughter shocks the village further by joining a motorcycle gang and becoming a famous manga artist. The outlander’s granddaughter Toko—well, she’s nobody at all. A nobody worth entrusting with the secret that her grandmother was a murderer. This is Toko’s story.
