Blue Literature (Aoi Bungaku)

Just noticed this in the fall 2009 chart. The manga artists for death note, bleach and prince of tennis are collaborating on this adaptation of 4 classic japanese novels, so it's sure to look amazing. Anyone else heard anything about this?

You can tell which ones obata and kubo drew

I hope it won't detract from bleach though. I guess this thread was a bit premature, but upon hearing those 3 were working together I was a bit amazed

It's not really premature. In about 2 weeks, the show is going to air anyways. I like the whole literature to manga idea, it's a popular trend now. Most authors is in the supernatural genre have been getting their novel manga-nized (again, ignore the English mutilation)

Just reviving this thread seeing as the first episode is out. What did you guys think?
I could definitely see Obata Takeshi's (Death Note) artwork here, the main chara resembled yagami light quite a lot in his looks.

The story was a bit weird, but gripping at the same time. Looks like it's going to be a good one.

Reminds me of Mouryou no Hako,heavy on the atmosphere front and really good character designs.
The premise looks mysterious but I have no Idea which direction the show will take!
I'm atleast hooked till episode2.
