Before she became Catherine the Great, legendary empress of Russia, she was a smart but lonely girl named Sophia. Her mother ignored her until family connections proposed a marriage between Sophia and the presumptive heir to the Russian throne - and suddenly she was thrown from her quiet life in a backwoods mansion to the center of a cutthroat political world.

A true titan of the anime industry with a 50-year career, veteran producer Masao Maruyama discusses his latest film, the touching, widely-acclaimed drama In This Corner of the World.

It is confirmed today that "Go! Princess PreCure: Hana to Refi no Bouken (Flower and Refi's Adventure)," a new novel book inspired by the 12th PreCure TV anime series Go! Princess PreCure will be released from Kodansha's juvenile novel imprint KK Bunko on March 15.

 

The 240-page novel is a direct sequel to the 20-minute full CG short "PreCure and Refi's Wonder Night!" that was released as one program in the three-part Go! Princess PreCure the Movie: Go! Go!! Splendid Triple Feature!!! in October 2015. The film achieved a modest success of 560 million yen in its domestic run. The novel is written by Sakurako Akino (aka Kaori Yamagata as an actress) who provided the screenplays for the three films, and this is her first PreCure novel.

 

The story is set after the film, telling an adventure of an elementary school girl, Hana, her "grandmother," and the girls of the Princess PreCure team. The target age of the book is around 8 and older.

During a special Fate/Grand Order festival event over this weekend, Type-Moon revealed Fate/Grand Order VR feat. Mashu Kyrielight as a new PlayStation VR-exclusive title.

Read Fate/Grand Order VR feat. Mashu Kyrielight Announced For PlayStation VR In Japan For 2017 on Siliconera!

This year's eighth issue of Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine is announcing on Wednesday that Miki Yoshikawa's Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches manga's...

Not content to let Madoka Magica rule the magical girl side of smartphone gaming, Toei's own battalion of heroines have stepped in. Later this year, the PreCure franchise will make their official dive into iOS and Android games.

 

 

Titled PreCure Tsunagaru Pazurun ("PreCure Connection Puzzle-un"), it's advertised as an easy hitofudegaki game (a type of game where you draw a shape without lifting the pen -- or, in this case, your finger or stylus). As you complete puzzles and gather cards, you'll build a larger team of characters from which you can choose as you play.

 

At present, the art only shows three teams: the early Futari wa PreCure MAX HEART team and the more recent Go Princess PreCure and Maho Girls PreCure! teams. There's no indication yet of whether more teams will be filled in either retroactively or as they premiere.

 

Preregistrations are currently open on the site via email or Twitter; additionally, preregistered players may be contacted about a closed beta in the near future.

 

 

As preregistrations stack up, more and more special gifts will become available to early adopters. At 30,000 users, a pack of 200 jewels (presumably the currency of the game) will unlock. At 50,000 and 80,000 respectively, the two cards shown above -- "Black Ribbon Nagisa Misumi" and "Polka-Dot Dress Honoka Yukishiro" -- will also unlock, both with a three-star rating.

 

PreCure Tsunagaru Pazurun will go live later this year for iOS and Android. Visit the official site for more information.

The latest Weekly Shonen Magazine has teased that an announcement concerning Miki Yoshikawa's Yamada-kun And The Seven Witches is planned for the magazine's January 25th issue. When this leaked, speculation was split between a follow-up to the 2015 Liden Films OVAs and TV anime, or a conclusion to the 2012 manga. There's now another early look at the magazine, and it turns out that the news will be the latter.

 

The manga is now scheduled to end in five more chapters. Along with an art collection, a special edition of the series 28th volume is planned.

Shogakukan's Monthly Shōnen Sunday manga magazine is currently running a contest entitled the "Takagi-san Cup", and the winner of the contest will be recruited to create a four-panel comic spin-off manga for Souichirou Yamamoto's popular series, Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san ("Takagi-san is Good at Pranks").

 

The "Takagi-san Cup" is being implemented as part of Monthly Shōnen Sunday's "Newcomer Award" program. Artists both professional and amateur are encouraged to apply, and the applications are open until April 12, 2017. The goal of the contest is to create a spin-off manga set in the world of Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san, but focusing on the everday lives of Takagi and Nishikata's classmates.

 

 

In Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san, Takagi-san enjoys playing tricks on Nishikata, a boy who sits next to her in class. Nishikata tries to return the favor for all of the jokes played on him, but Takagi-san is simply too good at pulling pranks to fall for his attempts at pranking.

 

 

Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san began life as a web comic published on the Pixiv Comic website, and the series is now published in Shogakukan's Monthly Shōnen Sunday magazine.

Perhaps it was the success of chronically low-energy yoke Gudetama. Sanrio has introduced a new character who's more hardcore than three-apple-tall Hello Kitty or even attitude-laden Badz Maru. Meet Aggretsuko. After almost 40 Japanese shorts, they've given an English introduction to this 20-something office professional by day, secret metal-head by night.

Aggretsuko is a cute Red Panda, working as an office associate in the accounting department of a highly respected trading company. She works in one of the biggest metropolitan areas of Tokyo. 

It’s always been a dream of Aggretsuko to work as an accountant, especially in this part of the city. But in reality, her bosses are unsympathetic and give her harsh deadlines. She ultimately has become a pushover within the company. When she gets pushed to the limit, she goes out after work and takes out her frustration and stress with heavy metal Karaoke sessions!
