The official website of Condé Nast Japan’s Vogue Japan magazine revealed last Friday that Mari Yamazaki is drawing a new manga titled BVLGARI o Tsukutta Otoko – Sotirios Voulgaris (The Man Who Made BVLGARI – Sotirios Voulgaris).
The manga will center on Bulgari founder Sotirios Voulgaris as he travels back in time with three Japanese actresses to Ancient Rome to discover the origin of Bulgari jewelry.
The manga inspired a television anime mini-series, two live-action films starring Hiroshi Abe and Aya Ueto.
Yen Press publishes the manga in North America, while Discotek licensed the anime in North America.
