| Well,This is quite different from Genshiken. But,if it's Shimoku Kio's work,than it should be a win. Since most noobs don't read,it won't really pick in the states untill it gets animated. |

Being a monthly publication, it will be easily forgotten unfortunately. |

Genshiken was a excellent series, one would think most of Shimoku Kio's would become instantly popular. Hopefully this new series be interesting. But only time will tell. |

| If I didn't know it was by the same creator as Genshiken, then I probably would pass on the series. The brief synopsis makes it sound like too many other stories out there... |

I agree wholeheartingly. If the creator of Genshiken didn't create this, I would pass on this completely. Though I am very hopeful this series isn't a harem, ecchi, shojo or magical girl manga. Those series get old very quickly and often go in cirlces after a while.
I was expecting a much different series. I do look forward to Kujibiki Unbalance, that series I might actually start to collect. |

Quite right in my mind. Unless it gets animated, it's probably not going to get much attention from North American fans as they'll have to wait for this series to come out over a long period of time. |

| To me, anything that's serialized in Afternoon gets a solid chance to be very good. (everything from Ah My Goddess to Narutaru to Mushishi to Yume Tsukai to Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou just to name a few). So much great stuff has been from that magazine over the years... I'm glad that he got to keep his spot in it. |

But this could also work against Mr. Kio because this series may not be popular. Think about the manga picture, the characters are most likely under the age of 10, they are chibi and are moe. |
