Honban 5 Byōmae Manga by Strange+'s Mikawa Ends

Gag manga about female announcer began in 2015

This year's March issue of Ichijinsha's Monthly Comic Rex announced on Friday that Verno Mikawa's Honban 5 Byōmae (5 Seconds to On Air) manga will end in the next issue on February 27.

The gag manga about a female television announcer began in Monthly Comic Rex in August 2015. The first compiled volume shipped in September 2016.

Mikawa launched her slapstick detective manga Strange+ in Ichijinsha's Monthly Comic Zero-Sum magazine in 2002, and has been drawing it ever since. The series inspired two anime seasons by anime studio Seven. Crunchyroll streamed both as they aired in Japan.

Mikawa has also been serializing Nandemo Shimasu Kara!! in Gentosha's Monthly Birz since March. She ended her Mimi Koko Momo manga last February.
