News Petit Eva's Ryusuke Hamamoto Ends Enka to Hanamichi Manga
posted on 2013-09-04 13:00 EDT
Ryusuke Hamamoto will end his Enka to Hanamichi manga in the October issue of Earth Star Entertainment's Monthly Comic Earth Star magazine on September 12. The only compiled book volume will ship in Japan in November.
The story follows Enka Misora and Hanamichi, two aspiring idols who decide that the best way to become stars is to sing enka (a style of ballad singing loosely inspired by traditional Japanese music). Hamamoto just started the manga earlier this year.
Hamamoto currently serializes Oni Work in Takeshobo's Manga Club Original magazine and the Hiyokobocchi manga in Enterbrain's Weekly Famitsu magazine.
Hamamoto, who also goes by the name "Ryu Moto," designed the characters in the computer-animated Petit Eva - Evangelion@School project and other spinoffs based on Gainax's Neon Genesis Evangelion television anime series. He also drew Image Comics' Compass comic series and the LR Shōjo Tantei Dan manga. Along with other artists, he contributed to the Comic Artists - Asia and Hon anthologies.

Btooom is not going to be a series for everyone. A darker take on the “real life video game” genre, Inoue doesn't skimp on horrific details, be they violent or sexual.
...a page turner of a volume that leaves us eager for the next installment, because while popular wisdom dictates that the hero of a shounen manga nearly always wins, what if this is the time when he doesn't?
On the whole, Jiu Jiu is a disappointing series.
