Hiroaki Samura (Blade of the Immortal) has a new book coming out. Check out the description:

“Ohikkoshi,” follows the turbulent paths of several twenty-something art students as they fall in love, fall in lust, play in rock bands, ride motorbikes, eat, sleep (together) and try to avoid making life decisions while drunk. This romantic comedy is a “Japanese Art School Confidential” packed with absurd humor, obscure Death Metal references and some expertly-placed, dramatic revelations.

I’m crazy about the Blade of the Immortal series, but I’ve often wished he’d try something a little less brazenly macho than samurai-comics – and now this. I don’t think I’ve been this excited for a comic, since Scott Pilgrim 3.
