According to Moon Phase Diary a manga featuring Yamaha’s virtual idol Hatsune Miku will begin serialization in the January 2008 issue of Comic RUSH (on sale November 26th), and will be penned by Miku character designer KEI. I haven’t done much Miku reporting (Zepy‘s the man to go for for up to the minute news on everyone’s favorite voice synth) but this is a great development in my book; too often characters are poorly interpreted by mangaka other than the original creator, but with her designer on board for the project I’d say Miku is in safe hands.

The Hatsune Miku Vocaloid program is completely awesome. You can recreate just about any song using that software. YouTube has given enough proof of that. That, and Hatsune Miku herself is just cute. My question is, what in the world could a manga about her be about?
^ Super-cute robot that’s idol by day and masked-crusader by night, patrolling the the streets and protecting its’ citizens in the shadow of Tokyo and cracking down on criminals with DEADLY VENGEANCE.
Or she could do the sugar, spice, and everything nice thing… that’s how I see it :P
As long as it has leek spinning I’m all aboard.
That’s super special awesome!
Come on, isn’t it so easy to cook up some half-baked story about Hatsune Miku? It doesn’t take long to write up some sloppy one about her gaining sentience and becoming the main character’s lover.
I think Zepy had a point when he said he was unsure whether an illustrator will be well-adapted to doing a manga. Is KEI writing the story as well?
>>w
It’s not yet known whether KEI will be handling both writing and illustration duty. As far as his skills as a mangaka, this link should serve to allay any fears in that regard.
