AnimeNewsNetwork has announced that the next project from Kazune Kawahara, author of the popular shojo manga High School Debut, is going to be called Aozora Yell ("Blue-Sky Yell"), and will launch in the September issue of Margaret magazine. This news comes on the heels of the current August issue, which features the final chapter--after five years and 12 compiled volumes--of High School Debut.

According to ANN, Aozora Yell "[Centers] on Tsubasa, a girl who saw an inspirational brass band performance at the finals of the Japanese high school baseball championships one summer. Tsubasa vows to join the band when she enters high school, and she happens to meet a certain boy there." I have always found High School Debut surprisingly endearing (although I definitely think stretching it to 12 volumes was a mistake), so I'm looking forward to reading this new story as soon as it comes out!
