Fatale Game

Edition excerpt from Fatale Game 1 (2027): A struggling manga artist gets a new editor, a fascinating woman shrouded in mystery, in this charged and contentious yuri romance manga that will leave you on the edge of your seat. The sophomore series from the creator of Run Away With Me, Girl! "If it means that I can read your work again, I'll even chase you to the ends of the earth." Seri Tainaka, writing under the penname Nanakusa, is a one-hit wonder manga artist living in the shadow of her popular creation. Her series To Hell and Back was adored by fans, but despite now being a ten-year veteran, her successes ended there. So when Seri is told that she is being assigned a new editor, it only fuels her insecurities. When Seri meets the quirky Sumire Futami, she’s both creeped out and captivated by the strange and overly forthright woman, who claims she’d go to "hell and back" to make Seri a success again. But just when Seri starts to think she and Futami might be an unstoppable duo, she meets the other manga artists Futami is assigned to, and a dangerous game of jealousy, envy, and femmes fatales begins. It turns out that Futami has no qualms about directing her fickle attention at whichever artist captures her focus, and they’ll all stop at nothing to win the number one spot in their editor’s heart!
