Satosumi Takaguchi, a manga creator active since the 1980s, began a new series on Kadokawa's Comic Bridge platform on June 24. Diamond's Blues: Konami Tsukushi to 7-nin no Ojisan centers on a college student whose beauty and naivety draw trouble, while a group of seemingly ordinary older men in her building secretly intervene. The manga is Takaguchi's latest work following the ongoing Bokura wa Mada Sora no Yume wo Mienai, which started in 2025, and the 2016 series Grandma no Yūutsu, which received a live-action adaptation in 2024. Takaguchi's earlier Hana no Asuka-gumi! ran for a decade and spawned two OVAs in the late 1980s and 1990.
