I'm assuming the posting on his main site, http://carafuru.web.fc2.com/index.htm, has any extra details but I lack the moon speaking abilities to read it. Would be so awesome if true.
Is it being serialized? Just glancing over the site, it seems like it's just publishing the tankoubon. That campaign questionaire seems to be to enter a drawing to win some promotional thing.

The company in question, Manga Goccha, seems to do exclusively web-based manga, so I'm guessing the 'serialization' is also a web-based thing. ('Guessing' because their main site seems to be temporarily down. Coincidence?)
Other information:
According to Minami's blog post, the tankoubon is supposed to be coming out around the end of August.
The survey on the new site is indeed to win some promotional thing, and translates fairly well with Google Translate. There are a few confusing ones near the end, though, so from the bottom up:
Any words for Minami-sensei? Would you buy a Chibi Miku book if it came out? What sort of stories do you want to read from now on? What sort of Trouble Spirit merchandise do you want? What do you want to see in the tankoubon?
Well, if he's getting this far from Trouble Spirit then I should start reading this. I just wish that Chibi-Miku would've gotten him in this position too, or something like it. I still can't even get my hands on those Comiket publishings.

Damnit, I didn't think about it like that. then how does he sell those things at Comiket? The ones with the bonus Chibi Miku goes to the Beach arc? I would kill to read that.

You just answered your own question. Comiket. "Most" artist/companies are totally fine with Comiket. There are some exceptions such as the current owners of Doremon dont want no Doremon doujins. I remember reading that there was a circle that made a darn good doujin on it(Non hentai) but they were still forced to stop.
All i can say, is Minami really deserve it. I used to think that would be a wate if his work was not gonna be put in good use, be recognised. I'm glad that he published his works on his own site, but i want him to make some money out of it. And now, it really happens. Best wish for you, Minami

Well, I need to know. Where can I get a copy of those Chibi-Miku things he sells at Komiket? (Without actually going to Komiket) I'll do almost anything for one of those, but going to Japan is a bit out of my budget.

Wish I could help you but I have struck out myself trying to buy both his c-miku books.
Sadly, those are the only english sites i know. I know a ton of japanese sites though. but the japanese sites would do you no good.
No! It will actually be in bookstores nationwide alongside other legitimate commercial books!So it's a doujinshi with a real cover.Ummm... For more details, please check this special site.Riko! Our adventures are finally being made into a tankoubon!...AhYou mean a doujinshi?LISTEN TO ME ALREADY!
And why do know so much about doujinshi?...Consignment selling?No, no! I see you can't believe it, but!
