The romantic comedy will revolve around a boy and girl who have to live together.

Seo once created a one-shot manga called Half & half in Kodansha's Magazine Fresh in 1996, but that one-shot was not a romantic comedy


In fact look like this new serie will have the same story as the oneshot.

I am all for him starting something new, maybe this means Kimi No Iru Machi is ending soon.

Also just so you know, while Half & Half wasn't a romantic comedy, it was a romantic tragedy.

So these two are going to have to decide which of them will die after a week?

Oh yeah, that sounds like a hilarious fun time. Well, given how awful Suzuka was, there's no chance I'd even give this a glance anyway.

Did you watch the anime or read the manga? They are pretty similar but the anime lost a lot of the manga's charm. Also it only covers like a 1/3 of the story.

Anyways as far as shonen school life romance/comedy manga go, Seo Kouji is one of the best imo.

Agreed. I've been waiting for a couple of years now for them to pick up and finish off the series. =/ Hopefully we can get some announcement soon since they've been doing the omnibus thing a lot lately.

Well it might or might not indicate that he is ending Kimi no Iru Machi soon. I mean, he does have several manga going on at times, remember when his version of Love Plus was still going on, along with Princess Lucia (still ongoing) and Kimi no Iru Machi were running at the same time?
