Jiro Matsumoto, the mangaka behind the sexy and violent girls-with-guns manga Velveteen & Mandala, has come out with a new manga. It’s called beautiful place and it debuted on Friday in Complex, the online part of Hero’s Inc’s Monthly Hero’s magazine.
It sounds as if it has some similarities to Velveteen & Mandala, as it’s about two girls and is described as a “gun action manga.” It takes place during a civil war, but unlike Velveteen & Mandala, it doesn’t appear to have any zombies.
Matsumoto worked on Velveteen & Mandala more than a decade ago, and it’s published in America by Vertical, where it recently received an e-book version.
