Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet Vol 7 pre-order now – Fumi and Akatsuki’s love story continues

Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet Volume 7 continues this wonderfully cute and fun rom-com manga
One of my favorite all-time manga series Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet, Volume 7 in English is now up for pre-order via Yen Press and I could not be happier.
The manga itself will publish on June 18th, 2024.
Yes, I have already read the entire manga in the dodgy “fan-translated” version at least four times over, but I swore the minute the manga was given an official English language translation it would be one of the first on my list for me to grab and add to my collection.
Six volumes in so far and, with Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet, Volume 7 in English being published soon, we only have a month to go before the next installment heads our way.
Just in case you have not yet discovered the delights of the Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet manga, here is how Yen Press describes the plot:
Fumi Oono, second-year high-school student. Stuck with the debts of her father, she needs a job—fast.
While she did indeed manage to find one as a housekeeper for THE Akatsuki Kibikino, it leaves much to be desired. After all, the novelist has a mean glare and an even worse attitude…
And on top of that, she has to live with him?!
Why you should read Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet, Volume 7… and all the others
Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet was written by Mika Yamamori, who does a wonderful job exploring the relationship between Fumi and Akatsuki, the high school student and the grumpy novelist, as they start to grow on each other.
It is one of those lovely relationships that, while Fumi might be younger than Akatsuki, in character and emotional maturity, she is just about his equal.
So much so, she doesn’t let him get away with much, which is exactly what Akatsuki needs in his life.
It is also a relationship that ultimately becomes so sweet and loving, I can’t even.
The characters in Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet are fabulous, the art style is lovely and the plot doesn’t fail for one second to grab you and pull you in.
And yep, if you are anything like me, it will make you laugh… and cry.
In Japanese, the manga series has 14 volumes, so we still have a ways to go before all 14 are out in English.
But with Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet, Volume 7 in English out next month, hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for the rest. Fingers crossed.
You can pre-order Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet, Volume 7 in English at Yen Press now.
And, if you haven’t read this delightful romance manga yet and enjoy a good, healthy romance that just gives you the absolute feels, I promise you will not be disappointed if you do.
Finally, if you would like an idea of the “atmosphere” of this wonderful manga, watch the video below with frames from the manga musically illustrated by Grouplove’s ‘Tongue Tied‘.
It is the sweetest damn thing.
