*VIZ Media is excited to debut today the comedy gourmet battle action of FOOD WARS!: SHOKUGEKI NO SOMA, debuting months before it’s August print debut! **In addition, PHANTOM THIEF JEANNE from beloved shojo creator Arina Tanemura is now available, and new series CHIBI VAMPIRE and D.N. ANGEL will debut next week as part of the new VIZ Select imprint! *

– Cooking as you’ve never before seen it! FOOD WARS! SHOKUGEKI NO SOMA(now available) is a saucy battle of explosive flavors, and follows Soma as he attempts to surpass his father’s culinary prowess by enrolling in a classy culinary school that prides itself on a 10% graduation rate! The art & descriptions are mouthwatering, and each volume will also include recipes for readers to try at home!

Shojo adventure *PHANTOM THIEF JEANNE* (now available) follows Maron as she steals paintings in which demons reside! But her alter ego Phantom Thief Jeanne now has a rival – Phantom Thief Sinbad is trying to take the paintings before she does!

– *CHIBI VAMPIRE* (available 3/25) turns the vampire mythos on its head! Karin is a vampire…with blood to spare! Rather than stealing blood from humans, she actually gives her blood to them, and if done right, this can be an extremely positive experience that benefits the “victim” as much as the vampire. The problem is that Karin never seems to do things right!

– In *D.N. ANGEL* (available 3/25), Daisuke is an ordinary boy who has inherited an interesting family tradition. Upon seeing Risa, the girl he adores, he transforms into a daring phantom thief. When the phantom thief sees his object of desire, he turns back into Daisuke. The only cure is if Daisuke can get Risa to fall in love with him, but how can she love someone she can’t see?

In addition to the above series debuts, updates to over 25 additional series will also be available this month! All volumes are or will be available on the VIZ Manga platform (VIZManga.com and apps for iOS and Android), as well as on the Nook, Kindle, GooglePlay, iBooks and Kobo stores!
