The year has only barely started, and we're now ready to announce our first pickup of 2015: Boy Skirt by Tomohiro Shinohara! This is a seinen manga that just recently started serialization in Shueisha's Miracle Jump magazine in November, so it currently only has two chapters out. However, like what we are doing with Full Dozer, we are releasing the first chapter from the magazine raws, but we will be waiting for the first volume to come out before we continue it. So even though there will probably be a 4 or 5 month wait until we get to chapter 2, we are committing ourselves to doing this series (and didn't want to take the chance of some other group taking it while we wait for volume 1 to show up).
Boy Skirt's story is as follows. On his first day of high school, Yuuya Ochi is shocked to discover that the girl sitting in front of him in class is actually a guy named Shigemitsu Izumi. Unable to simply ignore it like the other guys in class, Yuuya can't stop thinking about Izumi and wonders if he's actually a girl, especially after Yuuya sees Izumi waving to a good-looking guy who he suspects is Izumi's boyfriend. Intent to find out more about who Izumi really is, Yuuya follows him after school, only to end up being dropkicked by him over a misunderstanding. Izumi later tells Yuuya that he started cross-dressing to put his twin sister Yurika at ease, who is extremely afraid of guys. However, Izumi confides in Yuuya that he has one other reason why he cross-dresses, something Izumi has never told anyone else.
If nothing else, this is a funny manga with very beautiful art, so if you check it out, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Next up, we'll be starting on Kuragehime v15 which just came out in Japan yesterday, and we'll be working on it in conjunction with Hibari v02 for the time being.
