"Mysterious Thief Saint Tail" Manga Sequel Recruiting New Artist

Pixiv, one oft he most popular Japanese online community for manga artists and illustrators, started a contest to recruit an artist for the sequel to Megumi Tachikawa's Kaitou Saint Tail/Mysterious Thief Saint Tail shoujo manga series. The original manga was serialized in Kodansha's monthly shoujo manga magazine Nakayoshi from 1994 to 1996, then compiled in seven tankobon volumes. Its TV anime adaptation by Tokyo Movie was aired for 43 episodes from 1995 to 1996. 

 

The original manga author Tachikawa will also join the screening meeting. The Grand Prix winner's work is guaranteed to be serialized in a magazine of Kodansha, and also to get its tankobons and merchandise. 

 

The story of the sequel will be set in the world where the original Saint Tail has been disappeared and will feature a new mysterious thief who appears in Seika-city to solve the troubles of the lost lambs.

 1. Saint Tail steals for the lost lambs, never for self-interest.

 2. Saint Tail's weapons are his/her physical ability and magics inherited from his/her parents.

 3. Saint Tail must have a some kind of "Tail" like the one that Meimi in the original series had.
