It has been decided that Natsume Ono's ``GENTE ~The People of Ristorante~ [New Edition]'' will be published by Ota Publishing on May 26th. The series, which was originally published in three volumes, has been re-edited as two volumes with newly drawn covers. The first volume contains 8 stories and 1 extra story, and the second volume contains 7 stories and 3 extra stories.
"GENTE ~The People of the Ristorante~" is the story of a ristorante where the employees are all gentlemen who wear reading glasses. Ota Publishing also published a new edition of Ono's work ``Ristorante Paradiso'' in March, and ``GENTE'' is a side story series.
On the mail order site QJ Store, goods to commemorate the publication of the new edition are available: "Lispara & GENTE [New Edition] Release Commemoration Picture Frame Magnets" in all three types and "GENTE [New Edition] Upper and Lower Volumes & Picture Frame Magnet 3 Type Set". For the "GENTE [New Edition] Set of 3 Volumes and Picture Frame Magnets," Ono will hand-sign autographs for 30 people chosen by lottery from those who order by the end of April.
