Late last year I mentioned how the Genshiken manga was continuing and how excited I am about that.  I recently saw more good news, the K-On! manga is going to start up again!!!

I saw the good news on Sankaku Complex which is a great site but be warned, it’s not very safe for work.  There doesn’t seem to be much information yet on what the restarted manga will cover though I think most people suspect, and hope for, a continuation of their current story following the girls past High School to college.  If that’s what they end up doing I wonder how they will handle Azunyan’s time stuck in High School as she’s a year behind the other girls?

I know there are a number of people who don’t like K-On! and call it pointless and simply a “moeblob” anime but I think they may be missing the point.  I’ll agree that the show is filled with moe characters and situations, just look at the animated gif of Yui doing her Un-Tan dance.  The show is also about friendship and having fun in school.   If the K-On! was simply a mindless display of cuteness without substance I don’t believe there would have been as many people saying how emotional they got, even to the point of crying, at the last few episodes.  No matter what you may think of the show you can’t honestly deny that K-On! is very loved by it’s many fans.
