Yuri Nanashino Launches Japanese-Style Supernatural Fantasy in Sho-Comi

Yuri Nanashino began a new serialization, "This Phone Number Is Not in Use in the Present World," in Sho-Comi issue 13 on June 5. The story follows a female student who, after her sister disappears, is attacked by a monster and calls a mysterious handsome man from a public phone.

The serialization opens with Suzuka, a student whose older sister vanished a week ago. Trying to emulate her sister's kindness, she ends up pushed around by classmates. Then everyone disappears, a monster chases her, and she dials a public phone that summons a man in Japanese clothing.

The issue also includes the opening color page for Hikari Suzusaki's "Kiss Me, Kill the Tune" and an epilogue for Kyoko Kumagai's completed "Tokyo § Shinro." Roku Kurono's "Shimizu-kun no Tomeido" ended but will return for a new season. Next issue on June 12 starts Yu Yoshinaga's new serialization "Saredo, Futari wa Kusare Koi."
