I can only say "WTF?!" to the premise for Afterschool Charisma. Laughing

Wow, all four of those sound really interesting to me. Though I do have to say that Afterschool Charisma's premise sounds awfully familiar.

These titles sound fun! Also, why are Kamedoru, Not Simple, Bob to Yukaina Nakamatachi, and Kotae wa Mittsu at the bottom in the copywright section of the mainpage of the Sigkki website? *Crosses his fingers Freesia is licensed soon*

I'd so love for Freesia to get licensed.

lawlz Indeed, but it seems very interesting, if nothing else.

I'll definitely be giving this a chance. It's been ages since I've seen at least some semblance of that level of originality in a new manga. Anime catgrin

Man, Viz is really pushing this Ikki online magazine. Really hope that it does well for them, as that would really open up a (relatively) massive mature manga market here. Definitely would like to buy a lot of these series (Bokurano, Dorohedoro, House of Five Leaves, Tokyo Flow Chart, maybe Saturn Apartments... already waiting for the first volume of Children of the Sea to arrive) if they were published in print form here.
