Kei Sasuga, the creator of the scandalous Domestic Girlfriend, wants readers to determine what her next manga series will be.
Sasuga will debut the first chapter of three potential series in Issues 42, 43, and 44 of Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine, which will be published in Japan throughout September. Once all three stories are published, a poll will be held, and the most popular title will begin production as a fully serialized manga series.
The first option will be Goku Mane!, a comedy about an aristocratic young girl and a former yakuza who become unlikely friends. The second option is Tokyo Ghost Bros, which is being promoted as a shonen action series about two brothers who are high school students that also work as exorcists. The final story is Kanojo to Boku No Endroll (literally translated "An Endroll for Her and Me,") a drama which tells the story of the relationship between a woman who has lost the will to live and a man who has become a shut-in.
Sasuga is best known for creating Domestic Girlfriend, a drama manga series about a Natsuo Fuji, a high school boy who is infatuated with one of his teachers, Hina Tachibana. Frustrated by his inability to have a relationship with Hina, Natsuo engages in a mutually agreed upon one-night stand with a girl he meets at a party, Rui. Natsuo's situation becomes more complicated, however, when his father announces that he is getting remarried, and it is revealed that both Hina and Rui will be his new stepsisters. Natsuo is forced to sort out his complicated feelings for both women as he is first to live under the same roof as them.
Domestic Girlfriend was a surprise hit when it was first published in 2014. The manga now has more than 3 million copies in circulation. The series was adapted into a ten-episode anime in 2019 by studio Diomedéa. The Domestic Girlfriend anime is currently available for streaming through Crunchyroll.
