Hello everyone, welcome to the latest issue of The Pick-up Dimension.
This year is a renaissance year for the Japanese animation industry, and many works that were once popular in the past have launched new works this year. This year marks the 11th anniversary of the original manga series of "Light Voice Girl" and the 9th anniversary of the broadcast of the "Light Voice Girl" animation adapted by Kyoto Animation, and according to the actual situation of Kyoto Animation now, it should be difficult to see the new work of "Light Voice Girl" produced by this animation production company.
However, there is good news for loyal fans of "Light Girl" recently, that is, "Light Girl" will launch a new manga after 6 years.
In the newly released angima magazine, a new drawing of "Light Girl" drawn by Yukiko Horiguchi appeared, who worked for Kyoto Animation Productions and served as the character designer and general drawing supervisor of several Kyoto-produced animations, including the "Light Voice Girl" series of animations. From the end of Ova's "Bada's Studio" in October 2017, the all-staff list confirmed the news that Yukiko Horiguchi had left Kyoto Animation Production, and now Yukiko Horiguchi has suspended her animation work and devoted herself to working as an illustrator.
Unexpectedly, after 6 years after the end of the manga, fangbunsha recently announced that the "light music girl" comic will launch a new work "light sound girl shuffle", which shows on the promotional page that the protagonist of this new work should be a drummer, and it is written with the words "new movement playing begins".
After the first series ended, the manga of "Light Voice Girl" was serialized from 2007 to September 2010, and after the first series, "Light Voice Girl University Chapter" featuring Mori Hirazawa and others and "Light Sound Girl High School Chapter" featuring Nakano Atsushi and others were released in 2012, but by 2012, both comics were completed. Since then, there has been no new news about the original manga of "Light Girl".
And six years later, starting with manga time kirara magazine, which was released on July 9, 2018, the latest manga work of "Light Girl Shuffle" began to be serialized, and in the latest issue of the magazine, "New Movement Playing Begins" and "This time the protagonist is a drummer!?" A picture of the new character also appears on the promotional page, but not much of the specific information is revealed, and it is not known whether Hirazawa and others will appear in the new manga. Let's wait for the manga to officially start serialization and look for answers.
