In happier manga-related news, AnimeNewsNetwork says that Nodame Cantabile creator Tomoko Ninomiya is planning to launch a new manga miniseries called Noda-Can BS (short for "Nodame Cantabile Backstage") in the September issue of Kodansha's Kiss Plus magazine. Each installment will be four pages long, and focus on supporting characters in the series.

...unfortunately, we'll have to pay more to read it, but even that can't cast much of a damper over this news.
