Yen Press has made a new manga acquisition announcement today with the pickup of Akaya Akashiya Ayakashino. The series comes from HaccaWorks and Nanao, which began back in 2012 and a few volumes out already. The series will be localized as Of the Red, the Light and the Ayakashi and the first volume is planned for a December 2015 debut.
HaccaWorks is a doujin circle consisting of member Kanan Misaki, Mizuki Satoru, Yumi Riku, Yumekagami Misaki, and Warabe Yuta.
Plot concept: The story of AkaAka begins with a dream filled with red camellia and the passing of a strange mask. The owner of this mask is a young boy named Yue who lives at a temple populated with rather unusual residents. The nearby town Utsuwa is holding a winter festival. Kurogitsune, his fox spirit friend, decides it’s the perfect opportunity for the sheltered Yue to experience the sights, sounds, and most of all—the food! Even though Yue is forbidden to ever leave the temple, they sneak into town, not realizing what they’ve set into motion…
