[taleness.livejournal.com]

From AnimeNewsNetwork.com:

The Japanese publisher Gentosha announced on Friday that it will launch a new manga magazine called Comic Spica on October 28. Gentosha made the announcement in the September issue of Web Spica, the online web magazine that the publisher already hosts.

Hidekaz Himaruya (Hetalia - Axis Powers) and Ryo Ikuemi(Honey Bunny!, Kiyoku Yawaku, Pops) are among the creators who are slated to contribute to Comic Spica. The October issue of Web Spica will provide more details on September 28.

Among the titles that Web Spica has been releasing is Gravitation EX, Maki Murakami's continuation of her boys-love manga story Gravitation.

Not exactly related to Hetalia, but I thought this may be a subject of interest for us... with Chibisan Date still on hiatus, I wonder... is he going to continue it online in Spica or start a whole new series?

Although this news isn't related to Hetalia but thank you for providing this :D
Sorry for my bad Eng T-T

Or maybe he will start to publish Hetalia there... Don't forge that other mangakas published their most famous manga in weekly or monthly magazines...

Dear God I hope this is actually the continuation of Chibisan Date. Otherwise I will flip.

Actually it doesn't say what he's contributing, so for all we know it could be a Hetalia short like he submitted to Comic Birz last August.

If he's going to draw something else, then I wish him the best and hopefully his new serie will be wonderful to read! :)
