News Punie-chan's Ohwada to Launch Nietzsche Comedy Manga
posted on 2011-04-20 07:30 EDT
This year's 10th issue of Shueisha's Business Jump magazine announced on Wednesday that Hideki Ohwada is launching a new comedy manga series called Tonari no Zarathustra-san (My Neighbor Zarathustra) in the next issue on May 2. In his new gag comedy series, Ohwada will explore the world of Friedrich Nietzsche, the great German existential philosopher who wrote the novel Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
Ohwada is known for earlier unconventional comedy manga such as the no-holds-barred mahjong diplomacy manga Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku: The Legend of Koizumi, the dark magical-girl comedy Great Magical Gap (Dai Mahō Tōge) and the parody title Kidō Senshi Gundam-san. Both Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku and Great Magical Gap inspired anime adaptations, and Media Blasters released the Great Magical Gap anime under the name Magical Witch Punie-chan in North America.
The 10th issue of Business Jump is also launching a new series called Sakura 3-Shimai (The Three Sakura Sisters) by Sakura. In the manga, Sakura anthropomorphizes three pet ferrets into three beautiful maid sisters.

The Princess and the Pilot [Premium Edition] Sub.Blu-The ending of Jormungand has something important to say ... but never figures out the actual message.
Sunny is an interesting glimpse into the lives of children who feel that the world has forsaken them and how they manage to cope with the help of an old car and a little imagination.
Ultimately Missions of Love still reads like a sexy book for middle schoolers. Yukina is far from a likeable heroine, neither Shigure nor Akira come off as particularly desirable male leads, and the less savory elements of the story detract from its romance components.
Dengeki Daisy began as a romance with some computer crimes thrown in and has morphed into an action story with some romance thrown in. What remains true, however, is that Kyousuke Motomi has created an interesting, fun story with memorable characters who do their best, whether it's for good or ill.
House of Five Leaves GN 5For those who can get past the pacing and the art, House of Five Leaves is an interesting tale of a disparate group of people fallen into crime. With complimenting characters, a clear sense of the time in which is takes place, and intertwining motivations, Ono's series is one for the older reader who is ready for something a little different that doesn't involve students or superpowers.
