And it’s finally happened!
First reported on my friend ふう子’s site (along with the cover–take a look, it’s gorgeous!!), Marta Matsuo is releasing her very first tankoubon through Opera’s EDGE COMIX label. The title is called 「嘘つきは紳士のはじまり」 (Usotsuki wa Shinshi no Hajimari – Lies are a Gentleman’s Manners).
Now, I’m very happy about this for a couple reasons, the main one being that I was afraid that I wouldn’t see anything by Matsuo-sensei again. Ever. So Serious, as short as it was (at 16 pgs), was my first glance at this mangaka’s work, and I immediately fell in love with it. But upon looking up her name, I found that there wasn’t much under her belt.
’till now.
So I’ll just put it like this: If you loved So Serious, and want to read more of her works, pick up this book!! Usotsuki wa Shinshi no Hajimari goes on sale 7/23. Preorder from Amazon.co.jp, or wait patiently (or impatiently) for the release date.

So Serious was my introduction to this mangaka and I ended up buying this tank, so thanks!
