今日の5の2
Kyo no Gononi

The manga was serialized in the seinen(young men's) manga magazine Bessatsu Young Magazine.
The manga is only 1 volume long, here is the cover:

Spoiler:

Some info about Kyo no Gononi (Today in Class 5-2), from Manganews:

This one-volume manga by Sakuraba Koharu portrays the fifth grade in a... different light. The chapters ran in Young Magazine, a relatively small publication, and were then released in volume form, when it gained some cult following.

What makes this manga particularly unique is not it's characters, which represent fairly run-of-the-mill manga personalities like those found in FLCL, Azumanga, and even Sister Princess--which should give you a pretty good idea of what does make this manga interesting: the perfect blend of school humor, plain ridiculousness, and raging sexual innuendo.

Ah, fifth grade like you wish you remembered it!

Genre: Seinen, Comedy

This seems to be the official site for the Umineko no Naku Koro ni anime, but the site is not opened yet:

[Keriaku]

I'm not sure if I even want to watch Umineko no Naku Koro ni, versus waiting for the arcs to be translated. Because I know after playing a little bit of Higurashi, I had wished I didn't know all the answers already.

[Freeter]

Bumped the BL thread in light of this announcement, can't wait for more Two Hands action

Class 5-2 as a TV series? How is that going to work? It was only one volume, and the OVA covered most of it up to the finale. Is this going to be another Okawari?

Oh well, as long as they don't screw up Aihara, I'll give it a chance...

[tigerwoods]

New Black Lagoon and Umineko, I might come.
