Viz Licenses "Honey Blood" and "Kiss of the Rose Princess" Shoujo Manga

Viz has announced that they've licensed Miko Mitsuki's Honey Blood, to be released by their Shojo Beat label starting in October. The series, also known as Mitsu Aji Blood, ran for two volumes plus a Tale 0 in Sho-Comi starting in 2008. 


 


They describe the manga:


When a girl at Hinata Sorazono’s school is attacked by what seems to be a blood-sucking vampire, everyone is on edge and wonders who’s next. Hinata refuses to believe that vampires even exist, but then she meets her new neighbor, Junya Tokinaga, the author of an incredibly popular vampire romance novel. Dressed in a kimono with an old-world air about him, Junya has a taste of Hinata’s blood and tells her it’s sweet... Hinata can’t help but be drawn to Junya, but could it be that he’s actually a vampire—and worse yet, the culprit behind the attacks?!


 



 


Then, Kiss of the Rose Princess by Aya Shouoto starts in November. The series, also known as Barajou no Kiss ran nine volumes in Asuka starting in 2008.


They describe the series 


Anis Yamamoto has been told that if she ever removes the rose choker given to her by her father, a terrible punishment will befall her. Unfortunately she loses that choker when a batlike being named Ninufa falls from the sky and hits her. Ninufa gives Anis given four cards representing four knights whom she can summon with a kiss. But now that she has these gorgeous men at her beck and call, what exactly is her quest?!
