Aww.

And looks like chibi McQueen is a staff member now too.

I see you found her.

I'm afraid I have to tell you that a new one just went up.

The good news is that it's basically a repost of two of the earlier posted pages.

It's promo art for Hisahiko upcoming new book. Some kind of ingeniously formatted doujin comic book where it's Rice Shower's story if you read it from the right and Oguri's if you read it from the left. Even has dual titles as "Rice Shower Wants to Bring Happiness to Everybody" and "Legend of Oguri".

Craaaaaap. How do you treat stuff like that (promo artwork containing images of previous posts) for the Haruna Weather series again? Just insert them in the pool series in (original artist's) posting order and treat it as an intermission art?

Edit: Going with that approach for now.

I put them in the relevant pool, and leave it at that.

Do we need to split up this pool, or keep it as is?

Probably no need for it yet. If Hisahiko-sensei publically releases the doujin later, then maybe, because it sounds like it will have unique formatting that is hard to incorporate as part of the main pool.

Or if the Suzuka/Oguri/Rice Shower substories get spun into off into their own series with inter-crossovers that it makes it hard to group everything into one series without breaking up the arcs to fit them awkwardly together in a single fixed reading order. I did that for Ishiyumi's Mechanical Buddy Universe series, because it was practically impossible trying to force them into one pool with a single reading order, and it also made maintaining the series a nightmare.

Or to put in other words... putting related series into a single pool usually helps makes things easier for the reader because they can read everything in one go without needing to track down other series. But sometimes it also makes things awkward if the reading order is not clear and/or if the constant shift in character focus is potentially distracting. In such cases IMHO the series should be split up. Though currently Hisahiko-sensei's Uma series doesn't need it yet.
