Manga creator Shin Takahashi (SaiKano, Iihito, Kimi no Kakera) will launch a new school fantasy series titled Yuki ni Tsubasa (Wings in the Snow) in this year's 33rd issue of Kodansha's Young Magazine on July 16. Takahashi's SaiKano science-fiction manga inspired a 2002 television anime series, a 2005 original video anime project, and a 2006 live-action film. Viz released the manga and the anime in North America.
The current 24th issue of Young Magazine features the launch of Akahori, an action mystery manga by writer Tomihiko Tokunaga and artist Tetsuya Koshiba (Remote). The story revolves around three female detectives in undercover investigations; the first chapter has the detectives infiltrating a drag party with maid costumes.
In the 29th issue on June 20, artist Hiromoto Komatsu and story creator Kiyoaki Kawamura will relaunch their horse racing manga under the name Winning Ticket II ~Chūō Keiba-Hen~ (Winning Ticket II: The Japan Racing Arc).
