Malaysian publisher Gempak Starz announced on Thursday that it has licensed Machiko Iroi's Kekasihku Encik Coklat (Watashi no Koi wa Chocolate) manga.
The manga' story centers on Tsugumi, a junior high school student who wants to fall in love. But when Valentine's Day comes, she feels the need to isolate herself. As a change of pace, she decides she'll make a life-sized man made out of chocolate. When she kisses it, it somehow turns into a real prince that moves and talks. Everyone falls in love with him, and wants to hire him for various jobs, but he is only interested in Tsugumi, and Tsugumi falls in love with how kind he is. But Tsugumi is worried that he'll melt when the spring heat comes back.
Iroi published the manga in Shogakukan's Ciao magazine in 2014. Shogakukan published the manga's one compiled book volume in the same year.
