Today the topic is the perpetually entwined with Pixiv manga magazine, Monthly Comic Gene. Comic Gene markets itself as a boys’ comic magazine for women. It’s home to a number of series localized in English. To name a handful of notable properties which are currently running in its pages there is Merman in My Tub, Polar Bear in Love, Servamp, and Angels of Death. Monthly Comics c Gene also has a Pixiv exclusive web magazine counterpart called Gene Pixiv which is also home to anime adapted projects such as this season’s Africa Salaryman and Skull-faced Bookseller Honda.
I have had a fascination with this imprint for quite some time, there is a lot of ground breaking work anyone can enjoy being published by Kadokawa Shoten and Comic Gene is the perfect example of this. The series have gorgeously experimental ideas and artwork pushing the boundaries of comics. I sincerely hope Comic Gene continues to exist for many years to come as fantastic products always emerge from it.
