Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hirano's been quite busy, lately. Not only is he working on Drifters and new cover art for the Hellsing OVA I-V Blu-Ray box set, he's also working on Bishōnen de Meitantei de Doesu, a three-part manga that centers around a handsome ophthalmologist who assists in a murder investigation in Tokyo in the early 20th century. The first chapter of the first part was published in the 2010 Summer issue of ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Daioh Genesis magazine.



I remember hearing about this concept back when Hellsing ended and everybody was wondering what Hirano would do next. It's a pleasant surprise to see him follow through with it. I'm curious as to why he chose an ophthalmologist as his main protagonist. I guess I'll just have to wait and see where it goes.

o_0?

ummmm, and i thought his pre-hellsing stuff was a bit odd. doood.

There's alot of things you can do with the eyes. There are stories about seeing through other people's eyes, maybe Hirano-san is going to experiment with it. It's interesting what eyes can and cannot see. Good for him! :3

Ran to check it out, and of course, 1 chapter has been translated and then nothing else. Nice.

Unfortunately, the project was discontinued after the first chapter. Not sure why.

Drifters is still going strong, though. Volume 1 is available in America, and Volume 2 will be released in August.
