You guys may have already seen this on LJ, but Nitta-sensei will be doing a new Haru story! It will appear in the June issue of Be Boy Gold, and judging by the promo ad, it will be set during the Fuyu no Semi filming. She said that she was inspired "after getting the chance to draw something new for the drama CD," which I believe covers the Puppet Mate and Hermit Crab chapters in Book 10. Maybe we will get a chance to see Yoshizumi again! And if we're really lucky, maybe Onozuka and Miyasaka, too? (I'm not counting on it, but I figure there's no harm in hoping.) It's not clear to me whether she's actually resuming the series, or if this is just a one-shot deal, but she says in her message that Haru "will also begin digital distribution on mobile phones in Japan in early summer," which sounds promising. I would love it if the series continued, but I will be happy with any new Haru stories that I can get!

In other good news, Viz's BL imprint Sublime has licensed Kiss Ariki, which will be released in both print and digital formats. So now we won't need to rely on the individual Kindle chapters from Amazon--I'm really happy about this! I still have mixed feelings about this title and its consent issues, but I do find the story interesting enough that I want to keep reading it, and I'm glad that I'll be able to get a print copy.
