The April issue of Ichijinsha's Comic Zero Sum magazine revealed on Wednesday that Utako Yukihiro will launch a new manga titled Kare ni Irai Shite wa Ikemasen (You should not ask him.) in the magazine's next issue in March.
The issue also published the final chapter of artist Yukihiro (Uta no Prince Sama) and novelist Madoka Takadono's (Hakushakuke Goyōtashi) Devils and Realist (Makai Ōji: Devils and Realist) manga.
The pair launched the manga in Ichijinsha's Monthly Comic Zero Sum magazine in 2009. Ichijinsha published the 14th volume last July. Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the manga in English, and published the 13th volume in North America last November.
Chiaki Kon (Junjō Romantica, When They Cry - Higurashi, La storia della Arcana Famiglia) directed a 12-episode television anime adaptation, which premiered in July 2013. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan, and Sentai Filmworks licensed and released the series on DVD and Blu-ray Disc.
The manga has also inspired two stage musical adaptations. The first musical ran in Tokyo in June 2016, and the second musical ran in Tokyo in November.
