The Nezumi no Hatsukoi manga, also known as Nezumi’s First Love, is making some good numbers for an early run of a new property as we’ve now learned that for the first six volumes, there are a million copies in circulation in print and digital. This is up significantly from November 2024 when it was at 300,000 copies for the first three volumes.
The manga comes from Riku Ooseto which began in 2023 as serialized in Young Magazine for Kodansha.
Ooseto made their debut in 2022 with Eimugai before launching this property.
Weekly Young Magazine is a Japanese weekly anthology magazine published in Tokyo each Monday by Kodansha. The magazine started on June 16, 1980, and is targeted at the adult male demographic. It was published bimonthly, on the second and fourth Mondays of every month, until switching to a weekly publication in 1989.
Plot Concept: Nezumi is a girl who was raised as a hitman by the yakuza and grew up not knowing human love. An ordinary young man, Ao, knows nothing. They fall in love and start to live together, but the evil hand is close at hand…. This is a story of a first love, a cruel and sad love.
