New series starting in JUMP Issue 31.

A Romantic Comedy from Kanou Yasuhiro the author of Pretty Face and Mx0. Let's hope he has learnt from his mistakes.

larethian · 2011-07-04, 04:43

for one thing, his art seems to be getting better and better.

Von Himmel · 2011-07-04, 05:29

As my friend once said, Mx0 gets boring during the middle - end part. Let's just hope that this will stay interesting from the beginning to the end ;_;

...by the way, what's the plot?

Bonta Kun · 2011-07-04, 07:46

Well since I like his previous works I'll be keeping an eye on this but still think Pretty Face is his best work despite how it ended.
Oh lets hope we get a ending this time lol

The guy looks abit like the guy from Mx0, heres hoping we see a Lucy look-a-like, she was my favorite character from Mx0!

Westlo · 2011-07-05, 04:10

Sakiki's twitter has provided the cover for Jump 31, saw it posted on mangahelpers.

English name is "Through the Looking-Glass".

This. I've never liked his airheaded main girl types, lol.

Lucy on the other hand is pure epicness in a lolican.

lordshadowisle · 2011-07-05, 06:07

Wow, when is JUMP issue 31? Looking forward to reading this, both Pretty Face and Mx0 were good (though neither ended well

)

Westlo · 2011-07-05, 06:14

Well the Table of Contents (at least the bottom 5) for Jump Issue 31 will come out tomorrow and I think spoilers will be a few days after that... next the Big 3 are released but I'm not sure what day/time since I don't really follow them like that.

Anyway the first chapter should be scanned before a week from now I'm guessing...

Indeed, Lucy was really lovable, and Hiraigi was an absolute bore(did like her power though). So was that tsundere(Mizuki? her name escapes me). I'll be looking forward to this =03. If its decent, I hopefully it won't be cancelled prematurely, esp since it's in jump.

Actually liked the tusndere but much more so before she cut her hair.
Pity she never really got the development I'd hoped for.
Alot of the other cast was alot better/interesting than the 2 girls mentioned.

Well atm the series has one thing going for it, the girl pictured has long hair, thats + in my book

jzmagic · 2011-07-05, 20:47

Looking forward to this, I loved Mx0.

Nightengale · 2011-07-06, 00:57

I hope this is not going to be another 'I got myself in a horribly misunderstood situation and I must keep up the facade no matter what' manga from him.

I liked Mx0 and Pretty Face, but he has a tendency to make it really tiresome at times.

Waven · 2011-07-06, 03:37

It's RomCom, it's JUMP - 20 chapters at best

dosetsu · 2011-07-07, 20:09

Heh. Everything about this is very generic,

Spoiler:

Wargumm1i · 2011-07-07, 21:43

So whats the plotline? has it bin revealed yet?

Shadow5YA · 2011-07-07, 22:07

Let's see if the mangaka can keep the story's pacing consistent long enough for him to end the series properly instead of getting axed and rushing the ending.

Narzia · 2011-07-08, 06:19

Looking forward to this. I saw the scans of the first chapter and I immediately recognized his art style. And that main girl is just delicious. No melon-sized breasts, she doesn't seem to be a tsundere but also not really your usual "thehe" airhead. That alone is probably enough reason for it to be cancelled within the first month because people apparently don't like that.

Though honestly I already doubt very much that it's going to survive long. It just doesn't feel very JUMP'ish, whether you want to take that positive or negative is up to you.
Just why is he so fixated on JUMP? Go to another magazine for gods sake. I love him, but Japan seems to hate the guy.

Westlo · 2011-07-08, 10:40

Actually people have been saying that Kanou Yasuhiro ended both his previous mangas because he couldn't keep up with them.... He could be trying to not blame JUMP for it but he might also be right.. both Pretty Face and Mx0 relied on one gimmick and I could see it tiring having to come up with the 50th version of it. Still if that is true it shows he's a bad writer since he couldn't transition those manga titles into something that didn't rely on those gimmicks...

Bonta Kun · 2011-07-13, 15:30

Well 1st chapter is out and I gotta admit it got off to a rather good start.
It's a interesting setting, reminds me of another mirror manga I read but didn't really like.
The guy is not bad but best thing is the girl is pretty good actually. She does kinda has a air of clumsy about her but she isn't really that clumsy, she had her moments that did involve almost being run over by a car but I'm willing to let that go and put it down that it happened just for the sake of story.

Art is great as I would have expected, the colour spread was very much to my liking simply cause of the blonde glasses girl, she looked like she was wearing a ponytail but doesn't quite seem like it when she showed up, still intially she's got my attention the most.

Looking forward to this now, still hoping for a Lucy mascot!

~Yami~ · 2011-07-13, 19:48

this is good.... xD
but I don't think the story will progressed a lot... it will be a short manga (in my opinion though)
