Musical runs in 3 nations after manga's end; Konomi hires assistants for new work

The October issue (released on September 4) of Shueisha's Jump Square magazine has announced that the publication will be collaborating with The Prince of Tennis musical on a "miraculous" future project. The project will be unveiled in the December issue when it goes on sale on November 4. Takeshi Konomi ended the original manga for The Prince of Tennis after nine years this past March, but the stage musical continues all across Japan and will branch out into Taiwan and South Korea this October.

Jump Square's official homepage began soliciting assistant artists for Konomi's "new project" in early August. Applicants (of any age, but must be non-smokers) are asked to reproduce pages 7 and 70 of Prince of Tennis manga volume 27 and to submit their versions as part of their application. Coincidentally, Viz Media just released volume 27 in North America this week.

That confirms that the musical will branch out to Taiwan and South Korea, hopefuly they eventually bring it to North America. It looks like the Prince of Tennis Is not over yet. Lovux I would say that you should apply to be an assistant artist but sadly I'm almost positve that only people living in Japan can apply

This is so exciting!

Hahaha, really, Lovux should apply for this.

Eh?Japan only!? Its unfair>,<'

What is Konomi-sensei 'new project'? Is he going to publish new sport manga? Or he want to make sequel for his phenomenal TeniPuri?

I really want to know....

*laughs*

Oh, Lovux is so deeply flattered by reading that you want her to become one of Konomi's assistants... But as AnimeFan already pointed out, he's most likely looking for Japanese people. Besides, if she actually got the chance to be an assistan - where the hell would she get money to travel to the other side of the Earth, and what would she live on while there? What about her studies here in Sweden? And is it certain that Konomi knows enough of English to be able to communicate with her?
It just can't happen, that's the way it is.

Now about the subject itself... it sounds interesting. *keeps fingers crossed for a Freshman Atobe prequel*

I would actually like a sequel, with all the most important characters in high school, or in university.

[melichan]

Now that'd be something worth reading.
Awe, that sucks. It would have been awesome if Lovux got to work with the one that created all of our favorite bishies >.<
