Yen Press has announced a manga adaptation of the popular teen fiction books and television show Gossip Girl.




HyeKyung Baek (Bring It On) will write and illustrate Gossip Girl: For Your Eyes Only, which re-imagines the senior year of characters Blair and Vanessa.

Gossip Girl is the latest in a string of teen fiction adaptations including Darren Shan’s Cirque du Freak and James Patterson’s Daniel X.



Gossip Girl: For Your Eyes Only debuts in the January 2010 issue of Yen Press’s manga anthology Yen Plus.
