Miko Yasu’s award-winning film Font in a capsule manga is about to reach the end of its first part, and it turns out that this is the perfect opportunity for Yasu to start something new. According to an interview published on Kodansha’s Comic strip days manga, the series will be on hiatus for a while after the end of Part 1 in this year’s 29th issue of Morning magazine, and Yasu is looking to launch something completely different in the meantime.

We’ll have to wait for more details on Yasu’s new project, but it looks like it could be interesting!
