The girls are really cute. I don't think you announced this in New Announced Anime. Will this broadcast soon?

Nah, Its mentioned in the same post I mentioned the Kenichi anime.

Hmm the broadcast date hasn't been announced yet.

The first chapter of the shounen manga Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora can be seen here:

The art is great :)
The main female character is so cute >.<

Oh, I know the manga artist, he's the one who drew "Steel Angel Kurumi" (鋼鉄天使くるみ). No wonder I found the artwork so familiar. His characters are always very cute.

Some staff and cast info has been added in ANN:

They got the peeps of Kannazuki no Miko working on this! Especially with the seiyuu "type-casting". :twitch:

:twitch: look at the forth character from the top on this page:

Who do you think she resembles? some character from another manga also by Kaishaku >.< hopefully this new character won't rape anyone :heh:

Damn, it's Kannazuki no Miko all over again!!! :twitch:

(unfortunetely without the yuri I bet) :sad:

The first volume of the shounen manga Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora will be released on 28/10/2006 :D

I'll post its cover when its available ^^

Chikane and Himeko ARE making an appearance in this anime, mind you.

No, they're not on the front page.

So is this related to Kannazuki no Miko or those two are just there as cameos?

guest stars

Chikane is one of the major antagonists

It's what Tokyo Babylon is to X/1999

So how does this fit timeline wise? Is this series like a couple months after the events of Kannazuki no Miko?

It's more like what Mai Otome was to Mai Hime

You have identical characters, but it's not the same time frame

Shounen manga.

Promo video here: http://te-a.i-revo.jp/meta/promo/kyo...ushirou_pv.wvx

Man, I almost shed a tear when I saw Chikane again. Even if she's just there as a guest character I'll watch this for sure.

The bishoujo is as cute as she is in the manga :love:

That promo video is very good. I'm looking forward to this one, it looks pretty good.

I'm having problems with that streaming from Japan, but I found what is hopefull the same trailer here - http://www.animekon.com/loli_2006/ky...-sora-trailer/

@ Key Board - funny you should mention Mai HiME, that was the first anime that crossed my mind when I saw this trailer, especially towards the end of the clip. Are the two anything like another? (the manga I mean, haven't read it)
