One of our most avidly anticipated books of the season, Moto Hagio’s The Heart of Thomas is an unquestioned manga masterpiece and a foundational work of the shounen-ai (boys’ romance) genre. It’s our great pleasure to collect this magnificent graphic novel into a single, massive, beautifully-designed hardcover, expertly translated by Matt Thorn (whose exemplary work translating Hagio-sensei can also be seen in the acclaimed previous volume A Drunken Dream and Other Stories). The book is expected for a January release; read a 23-page excerpt comprising the full first chapter (further previews are forthcoming) and pre-order a copy right here.
