serialized manga format as before. no rough drafts left by Miura, but Kouji Mori (supervisor, Holyland mangaka, close friend of Miura) knows the entirety of the plot and they are working off of it. Miura's production studio producing it, will try to write "as not to deviate from Mr. Miura's own words."
I'm interested to see where this will go. I don't know if it will be good or bad...but we'll see. I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of the Elf Island arc, but I guess I'm glad that Miura seemed to have gotten past whatever he was going through during the first few arcs.
