Manga creator Kuchibiru ni Uta o (A Song on Our Lips, pictured top left in image above).
The story follows Kashiwagi, a stunningly beautiful, self-described NEET (Not in Employment, Education, or Training) part-time teacher who went to a music college in Tokyo. Her old middle-school classmate Matsuyama is now the advisor for a middle school chorus club on Nagasaki Prefecture's Gotō Islands, but she has to go on maternity leave. Matsuyama asks Kashiwagi to take over the club for one year.
The chorus club had only female before, but the arrival of Kashiwagi suddenly attracts lots of boys, resulting in conflict among its ranks. Despite this, the club prepares for NCon, NHK's real-life nationwide school music competition, with its newly diverse roster.
Three other manga series are launching in Monthly Shonen Sunday next month: Kaihei Nakahara's Kirisaki Walter manga (bottom right).
Mori's Manekoi manga just ended in the same magazine in the current March issue this week. His Monthly Big Comic Spirits magazine.
An anime adaptation of Kyō no Asuka Show premiered last year.
