Tamako Koishikawa's New Manga Series 'Honeymoon Taisho Romance' Begins
Beloved manga creator Tamako Koishikawa takes readers to 1920s Japan with her new series "Honeymoon Taisho Romance". The series began serialization on the Tonari no Young Jump platform as of June 24, 2025.
The story follows a young woman who aspires to be an independent, working woman despite the social pressures of the era, and finds herself facing an arranged marriage by her family. This marriage is not based on love but purely on interests. However, over time, this forced union opens the door to unexpected emotions and surprises. The Taisho period (1912-1926) is known as a time when Japan experienced the pains of modernization, increasing Western influence, and the first stirrings of women's rights. Koishikawa's combination of this historical backdrop with a romantic story will be a major draw especially for readers interested in josei and historical romance genres.
Mangaka Tamako Koishikawa is known for her emotionally deep works such as "Kimi no Koe" and "Hoshi no Furu Yoru". The artist's signature style stands out with finely drawn character designs and detailed backgrounds reflecting the atmosphere of the era. Her previous series have been praised especially for exploring the inner world of young female characters and their conflicts with society. With her new series, the author is expected to incorporate the spirit of the Taisho period, as well as the fashion, architecture, and social structure of the time into the story.
Tonari no Young Jump is Shueisha's digital manga platform, known for featuring innovative and independent works that appeal especially to young adult readers.
