This manga is so cute, and the relationship is super wholesome, if a bit rushed (for pretty obvious reasons since I assume the mangaka wanted to have the story be about the home life instead of the initial romance).

hahahaha, another chapter of Magical Girl Granny, I don't know how long the gimmick can hold but if they keep writing it like this chapter I could stick around for the long haul for it, and I'm generally not one for magical girl series, but this is great. :allears:



edit: assuming, of course, that "the end" is just the end of this chapter or whatever. the twitter post for the original had like 80,000 retweets so I'd say it'd not be a good move to duck out of a potential goldmine like that.

And done! Thank all of you for reading this fantastic little series with us!

We started working on this series 2 years ago which is mostly due to a lot of problems over the lifespan of the project. I hope our commitment in the second half of the series made up for that a bit. Huge thanks to both Ruggia and Kiri for being the driving forces behind us actually being as productive as we were. But of course also to everyone else on the team. Every day I’m so happy to be able to work together on manga with all these nerds.

Now about that secret release that I teased before:
The author of Kumika recently started a new manga! We are going jump on that right away and will release the first chapter of that this time tomorrow.

---
Title: Looking up to Magical Girls

Teaser image: https://i.imgur.com/8lrZE0n.jpg

Synopsis: Hiiragi Utena, a girl who loves Magical Girls, lives her ordinary everyday life wishing to be like them. One day a curious character appears in front of her and offers her the power to make her wishes come true, but… Magical Girls vs. The Forces of Evil, the fierce battle begins!
---

Just to temper your expectations a bit: it’s a bit different from Kumika and has a pretty bad release schedule in Japanese. But it would be great if some of you could check it out tomorrow. I for one can’t wait until I see all of you reacting to it. See you then!

One curious upshot of waiting until manga is finished being published or scanlated is that I end up looking forward to manga finishing - and I've definitely been looking forward to this one!

So the first chapter of the new manga by the Kumika author dropped and it's pretty lewd, definitely a strong departure from Kumika.

I'm kind of in on the premise, with vaguely reminds me of that Black General manga, so I wanna see where it goes.

"Leaderess" is a very, ah, interesting choice of made-up words on the translator's part.

Went to a bookstore after the first time in forever, was really shocked to find that a series I'd followed called Gleipnir had gotten an english translation. It wasn't a particularly great series but the premise is that the main character Shuichi finds that he can turn into a mascot-like figure one day and is desperate to find out why. Only for one of his classmates to confront him about it and long story short she winds up wearing his mascot form in a search for her sister. So definitely something that's quite surreal and it's also getting an anime so I guess it's time to pick this back up.

I couldn't peg it for a bit since it's not translated, but this magical girl series reminds me of something yenpress is picking up. Story called 'Divine Raiment Magical Girl Howling Moon' and the way it was explained to me; the main character and her friend were abducted by an evil organization and made into a magical girls much in the same way showa era kamen riders were transformed. MC didn't manage to break free and winds up sympathizing with the bad guys to fight for them or something like that. Also her boss is a lovecraftian horror and the art is by the High School of the Dead illustrator.

With these and the small number of Otome light novels I see coming out, I wonder how popular this idea of "tell the story from the perspective of the bad girl" is?

It's hard to believe that's the Kumika mangaka's next project, with how gross it is. I mean, it's not just way pervy compared to Kumika, but also the whole "main character is getting blackmailed to do pervy stuff for the only male character" thing feels extremely gross.

Also, highschooler(?) with S&M powers and X-shaped pasties being her only chest covering. The concept is not very original either, "good guy gets turned into bad guy and finds they like it" is a tale as old as time. The way kumika ended made me think they were sick of it (if the translated authors notes at the end of it are any indication, as well as any other plot threads abruptly dropping and the ending being blase as gently caress) and wanted to move on to their true passion: skeevy magical girl parody
