Kagami Yoshimizu’s (Eden of Grisia, Maesetsu! Opening Act) Lucky Star manga is making a comeback this November 10th after 8 years of being on hiatus. The third issue will be returning on Kadokawa’s Mitaina! Magazine as announced by the doujin circle C2 Kikan on Twitter on Saturday.
Lucky Star is a comedy series revolving around 4 girls tackling the issues of high school life like the proper way to eat choco cornet, setting up event flags in an onsen, and how to efficiently navigate the maze of Comiket.
