The Idolm@ster's Kotori Otonashi Gets Spinoff Manga
posted on by Jennifer Sherman
The June issue of Ichijinsha's Monthly Comic Rex magazine is revealing on Thursday that Mana will launch the Asayake wa Koganeiro The IDOLM@STER (Morning Glow is Golden: The IDOLM@STER) manga in the next issue on May 27. Tatsuya Takahashi (The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls, Eromanga Sensei) is providing the story.
The spinoff manga will center on the character Kotori Otonashi, an office clerk at 765 Production, during her high school days. The first chapter will have color pages.
The television anime adaptation of Bandai Namco Games and Kuma-Jet's The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls Gekijō (The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls Theater) manga premiered on April 4. Daisuki is streaming the series outside of Japan.
The first game in The IDOLM@STER franchise inspired Sunrise's 2007 loose television anime adaptation which Sentai Filmworks licensed for North America. The game franchise then spawned A-1 Pictures' more direct adaptation that included a 2011 television anime series, several original video anime, and a 2014 anime film, THE IDOLM@STER MOVIE: Kagayaki no Mukōgawa e!. Crunchyroll streamed A-1 Pictures' television series as it aired in Japan.
The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls game app is a spinoff that also inspired its own television anime. It launched its second anime season in 2015. Akane's Puchimas! -Petit Idolm@ster- manga also inspired the PUCHIM@S net anime adaptation in 2013, and a sequel in 2014.
