Waiting For Spring Mangaka Launches New Manga This Spring

Waiting for Spring is an easy-going shoujo manga that does not try to be the best of its genre. Yes, there are cliches, but they are kept within as many reality checks as possible.

The manga ended in 2019, and if you are waiting for the next work from its mangaka, you are in luck. 2021 might be the year when your wish is granted with another awesome work from Anashin.

Anashin, the author of Waiting for Spring manga, tweeted on 1st January that she will be debuting a new manga series in spring 2021.

Happy new year

This year, a new serialization is scheduled for spring.

It will be a little further, but I will do my best so thank you.

Neither we nor the other fans can wait for the new series by Anashin. Will the next series be another simple but remarkable shoujo piece, or will she dive into a new genre altogether?

Anashin also tweeted that she will be illustrating the cover for the next issue of the Dessert magazine. She will draw an illustration for the Liar x Liar manga which to celebrate its movie adaptation.

Thank you

I’m sorry for the collective reply

The new serialization will start in spring, but for the next issue of dessert, I drew the cover illustration of Appendix BLUE and the Liar x Liar movie celebration illustration by Dr. Ichi Kaneda. If you like, please come over there.

I wish you all a happy and wonderful year.
