Hey hey, a new mang ais out and its called Chikyu Misaki.
I read this one online through scanlations and then they stopped scanlating it so I guess this is why!
Here's the info from the CMX site:
"Written and illustrated by Iwahara Yuji
Schoolgirl Makishima Misaki's life is about to get a lot more complicated in this first volume of an exciting new title! She has inherited the house that belonged to her maternal grandfather, in a small, quiet, snowy town that boasts its own local legend, the Hohopo. Moving into the house with her klutzy widower father, she soon makes new friends — including one very unusual friend: the Hohopo itself, a shape-shifting creature who looks like a small Loch Ness Monster…when he's not masquerading as the boy next door! "
Anyone else read it or sound interesting?

Wow, that does soung interesting!

Unfortunately, I couldn't be more unmpressed with CMX. Their binding are terrible and their translations are very awkard, IMHO. *Sigh* Oh, well, I know I'll atleast give this a look through then I see it on the shelves. Any release date reported yet?

(Hopes this title doesn't fall prey to KKJ syndrome.)

It's out now...I was just looking through manga at Borders and noticed that title...It was pretty interesting from what I saw of it.

Yea its out and I haven't read it yet inthis version, but the scanlations were pretty interesting. I think there are 3 or 4 volumes... The art is very unique too ^^

I've read the first volume and I thought it was terribly cute. Almost too cute, although there seems to be something sinister brewing in the background. The potty training scene was a little awkward, but the manga was quite enjoyable over all.

yea there are some awkward scenes, and there is a little more going on in the background than it lets on right now, but its good ^^
