Oh my gosh, finally. I remember requesting Murasakiiro no Qualia on their licensing surveys every time I remembered to submit one (which admittedly hadn't happened recently). Glad they actually decided to license it in the end! Definitely grabbing both the LN and the manga when it comes out.

Barbarities! It's a lot of fun, it's not even a genre I'm normally into but the characters are charming enough to make it work for me. I'm glad to see it getting licensed so more people will be able to read it.

What a coincidence. I just watched a video about a fighting video game based on Les Miserables.

A different one? It's not even Japanese-made.

Crystal S. Chan is an award-winning author and television screen play writer. She holds a degree in language and literature. Crystal is a huge fan of authors such as Jane Austen and she is equally passionate about Sailor Moon. Her passion for classic literature combined with her love of the comics medium allows her to strike a solid balance between preserving the depth of the original content while adapting the language for a younger generation.

Sunneko Lee is a talented artist who works in two worlds: comics, and animation. At an early age she made her professional debut as a comic strip artist before moving to character design and story board artist. Sunneko work for the Manga Classics project allows her to celebrate her passion for the comic arts. Lee’s artist alias, Sunneko, combines her love of cats and the warmth of the sun (Neko is cat in Japanese).


The one mentioned in the article is by Arai Takahiro and it was serialized in Gessan (iirc).

I have seen bits and pieces of Arai's Les Mis. It is amazing art and of course story. Cannot believe they did not allow him to use that style for the two Conan spin-offs. It would look so amazing.
