Shueisha and Hololive Production kicked off a summer collaboration on July 1 as part of the publisher's 100th anniversary celebration. The project, called "Comic Summer Party! ~Summer Celebration Grand Strategy~," runs on the special site SHUEISHA MANGA EXPO. The first installment of "Special Conversations" pairs manga artist Arina Tanemura with VTuber Choco Yuzuki in a video released July 1. A second conversation between Kuwahari, creator of "Futsuu no Keion-bu," and Hololive talent Laplus Darknesss is scheduled for July 8. The talks cover behind-the-scenes details and personal anecdotes about the works.
Separately, the "My 100-Book Bookshelf" project asks seven Hololive talents-Luna Himemori, Fubuki Shirakami, Polka Omaru, Lui Takane, Koyori Hakui, Ririka Ichijo, and Chihaya Rindo-to curate a bookshelf of 100 Shueisha manga. Their selections will be revealed weekly from July 15 to August 26. The anniversary site also features earlier appearances by Suisei Hoshimachi and Marine Houshou in a "My Recommended Books" segment. A social media campaign with a book card prize runs alongside the project.
