The Return to ASUKA
The new and old heroines will discuss 'Diamond Blues' in a promotional manga commemorating the start of serialization, which will be published in the September issue of ASUKA (KADOKAWA), released on July 24th. Asuka Kuraku, the main character of 'Hana no Asuka-gumi!', also appears in the advertising manga. This is the first time in about 30 years that Takaguchi has published a work in ASUKA magazine, since the serialization of 'Hana no Asuka-gumi!' ended in 1995.
