Spinoff about Curls-senpai, huh. What, it'll be 70% being Misaki's lackey, 20% fangirling over Gekota with Mikoto, and 10% some sort of plot?

I've never seen/read anything in the A Certain Scientific...series (I did buy the first volume of the light novel though) but Drill-chan looks like Best Girl. Isn't the drill haired chick in Heavy Object (by the same author) also not named, and just known as Ohoho or something?

Anata no Yūsha looks pretty funny.

I like the art for Oni Futatsu though the plot sounds kinda whatever.

Furidashi ni Ochiru... I wonder what they think acting like a high school girl is. Like, does she act like an old man or a housewife, or have some really weird hobby or something? Because if it's just that she isn't very girly or friendly or something then it sounds like it will be a somewhat obnoxious series.

Anybody got any idea why Kino's Journey is getting another manga adaptation so soon after the announcement of the first one? I find it really odd.

I think it's a good sign, it looks like they're quite serious about promoting Kino's Journey.

A spin-off of a spin-off about an unnamed character...... neat.

I pick up Daioh whenever I can get to the San Francisco Kinokuniya and it's in stock, and I'm kind of interested to know which current series (if any) are being retired to make way for these new titles. For example, Toradora! rarely appears anymore, and the last few chapters have only been like 6-8 pages each, so I don't know if anyone would miss it if it were formally dropped. Muv-Luv Alternative has been in its final story arc for awhile, and could plausibly wrap up its 10-year run in Daioh by Summer. And there are a bunch of titles that are always clustered near the back (JC No Life!, Clash of Hexanacht, etc.) that presumably aren't very popular and could be ready to call it a day.

"Your Hero (Husband) is Cheating on You" sounds pretty entertaining. I'm always down for more monster girls.

Yeah, I'm intrigued by Anata no Yūsha (Danna) Uwaki Shitemasu yo, too. Can easily see that being an anime a couple of years down the road.

Kamachi has a thing for not naming characters. One of Touma's (MC of Index) best friends is just called 'blue hair pierce'. His newer series The Undefeated Holy Swordswoman only names female characters while giving nicknames to male characters.

Misha finally gets her own route!

I think.

Did you mean Sasha? Because Misha is the archangel Gabriel when its element is off.

The monster girl description kind of reminds me of how Hera felt with all of Zeus' affairs in Greek mythology.
