    One Peace Books Announces Usotoki Rhetoric Manga Series

    By

    One Peace Books announced today that they have acquired the license to Ritsu Miyako’s Usotoki Rhetoric manga series. The manga will be available on October 13!

    Usotoki Rhetoric

    One Peace Books describes the series as follows:

    It is 1926, the first year of the Showa era. Urabe Kanoko has left her hometown after it turns against her for having the ability to hear lies when spoken. She collapses from hunger after arriving in a town called Tsukumoya, where she meets a poverty-stricken detective named Iwai Soma. Is this fate? Or something more?

    This long-awaited series features some tear-jerking, a dash of romance, and lots of juicy mysteries in a beautifully rendered early Showa era setting of kimonos and tuxedos. Carefully translated by Molly Rabbitt, Usotoki Rhetoric appeals to fans of shojo, mystery, and historical fiction in equal numbers.
