Pani Poni's Hekiru Hikawa to Launch Manga About Video Streamers

This year's June issue of Kadokawa's Comic Dengeki Daioh G magazine announced on Thursday that Pani Poni manga creator Hekiru Hikawa will launch a new series titled Pandora Channel in the next issue on May 27. Hikawa describes the series as a "video streaming youth" manga about two girls. The magazine says the manga's main character is a "***Tuber."

Hikawa published Pani Poni in Square Enix's Monthly G-Fantasy from 2000 to 2011.

In 2005, the anime studios GANSIS and SHAFT produced the 26-episode Pani Poni Dash! series, which ADV Films (and later Funimation) released in North America.

The original manga had a bonus chapter in Square Enix's Monthly Big Gangan magazine earlier this week to commemorate the anime's Blu-ray Disc box release. The Blu-ray Disc box shipped in Japan on Wednesday.

Hikawa also created the original character designs for the Concrete Revolutio television anime series and the Concrete Revolutio: The Last Song sequel anime series.
