Satosumi Takaguchi's New Manga 'Diamond's Blues' Officially Launched
Diamond's Blues, the new series by beloved mangaka Satosumi Takaguchi, officially launched on June 24, 2026. According to Anime News Network, this new manga follows a group of middle-aged men who secretly protect a young and beautiful university student named Konami Tsukushi. Although the genre has not been fully disclosed, based on Takaguchi's previous works, a blend of romantic comedy and drama is expected.
Takaguchi is known for popular series such as “Konya wa Tsuki ga Kirei desu ga, Sore yori mo Anata” and “31-ninme no Koushaku Reijou”. She has gained a large fanbase among josei readers for her character-driven stories and nuanced romantic storytelling. Her new series Diamond's Blues stands out as a project that deviates from her usual style by centering on older male characters.
The first chapter of the series was released on June 24, 2026, on Japan's leading manga platforms. Although no international licensing deal has been announced yet, many of Takaguchi's previous works have official translations in English and other languages. Therefore, fans can expect Diamond's Blues to soon reach a global audience.
In particular, the theme of “middle-aged men in protective roles” is a concept that has been increasingly explored in manga in recent years. How Takaguchi will handle these dynamics is a point of interest for both new and old readers. Comments on Japanese social media regarding the first chapter are generally positive, with praise for the character designs and mysterious atmosphere.
New chapters are expected to be released in the coming weeks. If the story features deep character development and surprises, as in Takaguchi's previous series, Diamond's Blues could quickly capture the attention of josei manga fans. Stay tuned to our platform for updates!
