Viz Media has announced it’s latest acquisition:

Stay cool this summer with a book that will give you chills: Haikasoru’s latest release, GOTH! The 2003 Honkaku Mystery Award winner, GOTH, is more than a conventional crime thriller – It’s a twisted ride not just about serial killers but also their “admirers” that are intrigued by their work. Pick up a copy at your favorite retailer or digitally through the storefronts for Kindle, iBooks, Nook, Kobo, and GooglePlay on August 18th! 

Morino is the strangest girl in school – how could she not be, given her obsession with brutal murders? And there are plenty of murders to grow obsessed with, as the town in which she lives is a magnet for serial killers. She and her schoolmate will go to any length to investigate the murders, even putting their own bodies on the line. And they don’t want to stop the killers – Morino and her friend simply want to understand them. The new Haikasoru edition features a new, previously untranslated bonus novelette, “Morino’s Souvenir Photo.”
