"Good, Hoshino-kun, Shitagatte! ended. Can Ojiro-sensei work with a better writer next?"
"Okay! How about this one?"

…Well. It's certainly an interesting partnership.

Mari Okada + Makoto Ojiro team-up? Sure, why not.

I know alot of people love to hate on Mari Okada, but you could never call any of her works boring! O Maidens in Your Savage Season was not exactly my cup of tea but it definitely went places!

I'm very interested in what this duo comes up with with the caveat that I'm not super high on idol stories.

I personally loved O Maidens for the most part -- not sure how I felt about the ending. Still, the explosive emotion of her writing does make for an odd fit with Makoto Ojiro's more grounded, naturalistic artwork.

Ojiro's latest series are more grounded (After School Insomniacs and Neko no Otera no Chion-san) but her earlier work is much more exaggerated and erotic (especially Katekin, she also did an adaptation of an autobiography from an AV actress), with her latest oneshot Hoshino-kun being a bit of a return to her earlier works. So I think Ojiro and Okada working together is actually a great fit, they're both interested in extremes but also in grounding their stories when needed.
