The April issue of Kodansha’s Be Love magazine revealed on Sunday that Yui Sakuma will launch a new manga titled Watashi-tachi ga Mita Mono wa (What We Saw) in the magazine’s next issue on April 1. The manga will have a color opening page. The magazine describes the manga as a “countryside horror” story set in 2010, in a certain town in a certain N-prefecture where incidents are occuring that many suspect are either a curse or misfortune.
