That outfit in the image is ridiculous.

I've never heard of it before. It seems like a very sincere and sweet romance despite the premise.

Would not have expected this from Bones.

Since the article lacks the needed context imma add this:

The project was started about 8 years ago but was paused after Fujiwara's death.

Fujiwara was a fan of Bones; she introduced the manga to the studio's president at a Square Enix event in Germany around 10 years ago.

What a surprise. Considering the backstory regarding this, I will be watching. Just by looking at the staff, I know this will be handled with care (as should all works when the creator is no longer with us). So after the 3rd volume is adapted... I assume they will just go for an original ending to add closure to the story.

Well, looking at the visual... I can see why he fell in love at first sight.

Really appreciate the context since I was unaware, despite being a huge fan of Cocoa-sensei.

Reminder to all commenting that the author passed away very suddenly at a young age due to what we assume was a long term condition. She often compared herself to spoiler[Zange] from InuBoku who spoiler[was depicted as having a terminal illness and often hid his pain behind a mask of comedy]

That outfit on Mimori is unique and also sexy at the same time, I also might actually try it out, considering there aren't many stories where a villain falls in love with a magical girl (at least not in a wholesome sense).

The actually spelling for his name is Miller.

Wow.

I also really enjoyed the InuxBoku SS anime, so this gives me even more incentive to check this out.
