I'm not familiar with Obata outside of what he's done with Ohba, this seems interesting though so I might read it

Obata also did Hikaru no Go with Yumi Hotta, which was charming and fun. This sounds very appealing

I think Obata's talent is a bit wasted for manga like this...

This is really interesting to me, if only just because I really like Obata’s art but despise Ohba’s writing.

Pretty much this. Death Note and Bakuman were exciting and interesting when I was younger and didn't really notice how the female characters were written(But is more glaringly obvious in the more recent Platinum End). They clearly are the most successful/make the most money when working together, but I'm excited to see more of what Obata makes while working with others.
