Masami Hosokawa's story of brawling delinquents to premiere in October
This year's 36th issue of Akita Shoten's Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine is announcing on Thursday that a live-action television adaptation of Masami Hosokawa's Sugarless school fighting manga has been green-lit. The story follows high school freshman Gaku Shiiba and his quest to rule his school through daily brawls with the other delinquents. Shōnen Champion indicates that Gaku's schoolmates Taiji "Marimo" Marumo and Itaru "Shake" Aramaki may also appear in the show.
Hosokawa launched the manga in 2010, and Akita Shoten will publish the 13th book volume next month. The live-action series will premiere this October on the station NTV.

Interesting character developments and comic book-style twists are the norm in this generally fun second half. Some may find the plot twists to be irksome, but they don't keep it from being entertaining.

The ending of Jormungand has something important to say ... but never figures out the actual message.

Sunny GN 1
Sunny is an interesting glimpse into the lives of children who feel that the world has forsaken them and how they manage to cope with the help of an old car and a little imagination.

Missions of Love GN 2
Ultimately Missions of Love still reads like a sexy book for middle schoolers. Yukina is far from a likeable heroine, neither Shigure nor Akira come off as particularly desirable male leads, and the less savory elements of the story detract from its romance components.

Uzumaki GN 1Some horror fans will undoubtedly find this collection of tales about a town seemingly cursed by spirals to be to their taste, but its lack of a consistent compelling edge prevents it from being a great work.
