Las Vegas, NV, September 25, 2006 – Yaoi Press will publish the young adult web comic Zesty in January, 2007. Yaoi Press has numerous enhancements planned for the print version of the series.

Zesty chronicles the adventures of Zesty Tastee, a wealthy playboy who secretly fights against his father’s corrupt business. Zesty’s father brings in the mysterious ninja agent Prince to stop Zesty, but Zesty ends up falling in with love him. As Prince tries to catch Zesty, Zesty tries to capture Prince’s heart. Mayhem ensues with sweet, romantic moments interspersed.

The Zesty graphic novel will have one interior color page, as well as pinups and bonus material not seen on the web site. The artwork for the online version of Zesty is inked line-work. The print version will have fully rendered screen-tone shading throughout.

Zesty represents the second graphic novel Yaoi Press is marketing specifically to young adults aged 13 and older. Their first young adult book, Surge, was drawn by the same artist as Zesty. With hordes of young female fans already devoted to Zesty, Yaoi Press sees this title as their definitive entrance into the young adult marketplace.
