Jokes aside, Seven Seas Entertainment have recently announced their acquisition of Gakuen Polizi, the latest yuri romance manga from author Morinaga Milk. As the title indicates when you localize it – Gakuen Polizi combines police drama with a romance story between girls, and incorporates shoujo-inspired artwork that is Morinaga Milk’s signature style.
Gakuen Polizi started its serialization in Japan in 2012 and runs in Futabasha’s Comic High! magazine. While they claim they have “Got Milk” with this title, it is not the only Morinaga Milk title in their collection. Others include Girl Friends (Which believe it or not became a New York Times Best Seller for manga), Kisses, Sighs and Cherry Blossom Pink. While yuri isn’t really my style of manga, given they continue acquiring their work it must be popular.
Gakuen Polizi volume 1 will be released in June, 2014. Volume 2 will follow in the fall, 2014.
As a child, Sasami Aoba fantasized about becoming a defender of justice, like the magical girls and “Sentai Rangers” she admired on TV. Years have passed and now Sasami has become a police officer herself. Her first assignment is to infiltrate Hanagaki All-Girls High School and ferret out any trouble she may find.
On her first day posing as a student, Sasami is shocked to discover that a supposed book thief at school is actually a fellow undercover police officer, Sakuraba Midori. What’s more, Midori insists that she herself is the officer in charge of the school, not Sasami. Will the two girls become rivals, partners…or something more?
