This year’s 50th issue of Kodansha’s Morning magazine revealed on Thursday that Shū Okimoto is launching a new manga titled Yoshiwara Platonic in the magazine’s next issue on November 18.
Siblings Shin and Yuko Kibayashi — under the pen name Tadashi Agi — launched The Drops of God manga with artist Okimoto in Kodansha’s Morning magazine 2004.
The magazine teases the manga as centering on a platonic relationship between a food-loving courtesan and an otaku samurai.
Okimoto had posted on the Ganmo manga artist and assistant matching service in September that she was launching a new manga in Morning.
