Sounds good! I'm finally reading Kamisama Kiss now. For the longest time I didn't see a Kindle version of this title available & as I had no space for more print manga I had to skip it. Now that it is available I already bought volumes 11-17 (starting where the anime left off) and I am so excited to be able to finally read it.

I think Kamisama Kiss did well for Viz so I wouldn't be surprised if they license this new series in the near future.

There's an upcoming Kamisama Kiss epilogue? Ooh, Viz, please release that!

Not sure how I feel about a manga set 1,400 years ago, but Julietta Suzuki's a fan of time travel and robotics (based on her manga Karakuri Odette, which deserves a reprint), so I'm not ruling out sci-fi or other fantastical shenanigans.

What's to feel not sure about, other than... well, being completely unsure what to expect, maybe :) I can't think of many stories set in 600AD, Japanese or otherwise. [edit: this could just be ignorance on my part, of what eras certain historical/fantasy series correspond to.] For that reason alone I'm intrigued :D Wikipedia tells me 600 was around the time of the first Japanese embassies to Imperial China (I realize as I read, that doesn't mean the first embassies ever, just during one part of China's history...), so that cultural exchange might figure in. I'd love to get a bit more notion of the history and culture of the time period! (through what I'm sure will be a very imaginative lens, given the artist's other work.)

I'm currently reading Kamisama Kiss/Kamisama Hajimemashita, but I might check Suzuki's new series out. It happens to come out on my birthday. Very Happy
