Bocchi the Rock! Creator Celebrates Her Sister’s New Manga on Shonen Jump+

Artistic talent clearly runs in the family: Bocchi the Rock! creator Aki Hamazi (@hamazi_) took to social media to celebrate and promote the official serialization debut of her younger sister’s manga on the prestigious Shonen Jump+ platform.

The newly launched series is called Utsurou Kanojo-tachi, created and illustrated by her sister under the pen name Oumameda (@ehb9p8r).

Special Illustration and Support Between Manga Sisters

To celebrate the publication of the first chapter on Shueisha’s digital platform, Aki Hamazi prepared a special illustration and dedication on her official profile:

“My little sister’s work, ‘Utsurou Kanojo-tachi,’ starts serialization on Jump+ today!! The story has gotten a huge upgrade compared to the previous one-shot version, so if you’re interested, please check it out!!!”

In the commemorative illustration, the creator drew the featured character with stylized pink hair alongside chibi versions of the story’s heroines, signing her name and encouraging fans to check out the new series.

What Is Utsurou Kanojo-tachi?

When the one-shot was released, I made a post explaining what the story was about,

The story follows a girl who has multiple personalities (four, to be exact), and the protagonist has to fall in love with all of them. Otherwise, the girl’s original personality will simply “kill” whichever personality isn’t loved.Utsurou Kanojo-tachi

The serialization officially began this Friday after the manga passed the approval stage with a positively received one-shot in the digital magazine itself:

Isn’t it cool to see two sisters working in the manga industry? You can now read the first chapter of Utsurou Kanojo-tachi officially on MangaPlus!
