Actually, I think it's in honor of the new Gurren Lagann manga series. It's to be authored by Kikkawa Kabao and published in Comp Ace starting in October. It's a spin-off (or alternate universe or something) with events taking place in a high-school setting.
A Gurren Lagann high school drama? *Sigh* Eva's spinoff, Angelic Days, really sucked nuts. I like the idea of Kamina as a crazy gym teacher, but the amount of Simon-x-Nia fanart on this site alone is enough to make me gag at their pairing. Do not want.
Comartemis said: Are you serious? That sounds like something I'd expect out of a second-rate fanfiction author.
This would hardly be the first series to do that. Kino's Journey (a.k.a. Kino no Tabi) does one where it goes from a somber, pleasant show to a manga spin off with a gun wielding magical girl.
Meh. It's not like it's official canon. It's just the artists having fun.
Yoko x Simon > Nia x Simon, just because I like the idea of hot ass tsundere getting Simon to man up since he's a shy push over and all that, and of course Yoko rewarding him with ecchi fanservice ala kanokon.
