Love Through a Prism Gets Manga by Special A Creator in 2026

The prestigious mangaka **Maki Minami**, famous for *Special A*, is responsible for giving new life to the original anime **Love Through a Prism** (*Prism Rondo*). Scheduled for release on the 8th of January next year, the manga adaptation will be published digitally on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ service. This project originates from the mind of **Yōko Kamio**, the creator of the iconic *Boys Over Flowers* (*Hana Yori Dango*), which holds a Guinness World Record since 2023 as the single-author shōjo series with the most copies published. Thus, the collaboration between two great authors promises high-quality content for Brazilian anime and manga fans.

The production of the anime, which serves as the basis for the new comic, is handled by the renowned **WIT Studio** (*Attack on Titan*). The direction is by Kazuto Nakazawa, while Kamio, in addition to the original story and designs, also collaborates on the scripts. With this talented team behind it, Minami’s manga arrives to expand the series’ universe, which explores themes of love and identity through a unique narrative. Therefore, the serialization represents a chance for deeper immersion for the audience, who will be able to follow the saga monthly.

## The Legacy of the Creators Behind the Project

In addition to the colossal success of *Boys Over Flowers*, Yōko Kamio brings all her experience to this new work. Meanwhile, Maki Minami recently concluded her series *Hisureba, Hana* in December 2024, now returning to a high-visibility project. Minami’s career, with works such as *Voice Over!: Seiyuu Academy* and *Special A* (which also received an anime adaptation), ensures a fast-paced and personality-filled narrative, characteristics highly appreciated by the audience. Thus, the expectation is for a manga that captures the visual essence of the anime but also adds layers unique to sequential art.

For fans following the Japanese animation industry, the partnership between a studio of WIT’s caliber and established authors is a feast. The release in early 2026 promises to be one of the year’s notable events in the shōjo and romance segment. So, here’s an invitation to follow the serialization debut and discover how this promising story will develop in the hands of Maki Minami.
