Titled Orient, it will start on the 26th issue of the magazine to ship on May 30. The manga will be a themed "a never-before-seen Japanese fantasy" set in the Warring Japan period.

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Yeah, never saw that before. |
 |
| Aladdin with red hair. Seems pretty unoriginal.. but I did enjoy Magi (up until the time skip), so I look forward to it. |
lvl22 said: Aladdin with red hair. Seems pretty unoriginal.. but I did enjoy Magi (up until the time skip), so I look forward to it. He kinda looks like he's the offspring of Aladdin & Morgiana. |
 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
| Eh happy for her that she's starting a new series But I think I'll be skipping this one even tho I'm a historical fan and especially of that period. |
 |
| Omg I've been so sad after Magi manga ended :(( This made me happy! I'll definitely check it out |
 |
| that looks like an ms paint recolor of the git with blue hair |
Edward Elric > your waifu  |
| We are truly blessed! I'll definitely check it out. |
 |
| Magi was good (at least for me), but looking at the cover, I don't feel like reading it. |
| Magi season3 when?:( |
| ahh, same face syndrome |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Looks at the main cover page image, sees Kiss and Cry, big thumbs up. So happy it's getting serialized. |
| Well if this isnt the most unique manga story and art wise. |
| It was to be expected, but I'm still looking forward to it. |
 |
| Wonder where I've seen that story before. Sounds lame. |
 |
| This is good news, but unfortunately I do not think it will reach the level of the Magi because the events and even the characters were more than wonderful and can not be repeated or there is something like it :( |
| I liked Magi up to a point, then it kinda got boring. Felt like Ohtaka was taking the story in a direction I didn't want it to go. Hopefully this will be different. That being said, that seriously looks like a red-haired Aladdin. The story doesn't really sound all that original either but I'll wait and see how it turns out before criticizing it. |
| Looks a little too much like Magi..... |
 |
| He looks way too much like sinbad |
