As all of you have heard, Seo Kouji, Mangaka of Suzuka, Kimi no Iru Machi and Half and Half is making a manga adaptation of one of Love Plus's Heroine's: Rinko.

And i'll preface this by saying I have never played Love Plus, as well allot of other people. But I made this post, to allow people to hypothesize what's to come with this series. As of now it's exactly 1 Month until this manga starts. And I'm not 100% sure, but i think Red Hawk Scans might be picking this series up. If you don't know, this manga is MONTHLY and it's being serialized in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine.

So now i think i'll put my input: Seo Kouji is probably my favorite Romance mangaka. His Main Characters are never light weights, So you don't see the girl slapping them every which way and dominating them. Example: Cross Over's Natsuki Ogata is a short guy, but he makes it up by being Strong, Confident, and Bold. As well as Kimi's Haruto, Who although very stubborn and wishy washy, is always doing it based on his high Moral Compass. I think Seo's girls are always Great, They make people want to cheer for them. And make the main character rethink allot of things.

What do you think he will do with Rinko's Character? Do you think Nene and Manaka are going to make Cameo's? Do you think Seo is going to be even more popular because of Love Plus's already established series? And on the other hand, Could it have an opposite effect in the case Love Plus fans aren't satisfied with the Manga's Direction?

Well apparently the manga isn't quite monthly, as the next chapter is going to come out on June 7th.
I have to say that Kouji's adaptation of the game is much better than the Manaka one. I mean the protagonist in this version actually has a face!

So far read chapter 1 and im quite iterested. I never heard of the game before, but doesnt look likes it matters. The drawings are nice, the characters seem somewhat interesting and the setting is enjoyable enough,

Will be looking forward to the other chapters.

Yeah I noticed a week ago that it was going to be bi monthly.

Although as far as the story goes, it's WAY more interesting than the Manaka one, it's great! I thought this was going to be filler for Kimi and Lucia, but was i wrong. It felt great, it felt sound, and Rinko has to be one of my favorite characters that Seo has Drawn/Reimagined. It's safe to say, that when Manaka comes into the picture, Rinko will start to feel a little isolated (I hope!).

Kouji is a veteran mangaka with a history of successful works. I wouldn't put it past him to be able to create a great story out of Love Plus. That said, I wonder if he's playing Love Plus in his free time.
