Digital editions will be available (earlier than print for the novel volumes). It describes the story:

Kunieda Kei is the up-and-coming prince of the evening news. Inside, he’s the opposite: brash, hot-tempered, and prickly as can be. For years, Kei has successfully juggled his private and professional personas—until a chance meeting with stop-motion animator Tsuzuki Ushio threatens to bring it all crashing down. But is that really as frightening as the possibility that someone might love and accept both sides of who he is?
