## Description

Little information has been put out as far as I'm aware, and I'm by no means the first to hear the news, but the more people this can be spread to, the better. Let us keep the legend of K-On alive.

Hey guys. Now I don't know if I'm the first one to make a video about this, but I'm going to anyway. Those of you who are active on Facebook and Twitter will already know this, but for those who don't, there is apparently going to be a new *K-On!* manga released titled *K-On! Shuffle*. Fans of the franchise have been going ballistic on social media due to the news. I myself am very interested and very happy that *K-On!* is coming back. However, from what little information I've seen so far, this new series is going to be a spin-off of the original, so I guess it will be more of a spiritual sequel to the original. Whether the original characters will show up is completely unknown.

I'm trying to hold judgement and keep my expectations low until I can get my hands on the manga, which will begin serialization July 9. While the *K-On!* community is ecstatic about the return of their favorite franchise, I believe it's also divided due to the word 'spin-off'. I imagine it to be something like this: [as Lisa Simpson] They're releasing a new manga of *K-On!* after years of no activity. [*Woohoo!*] [as Bart] But it's going to be a spin-off and we don't know if the original cast will show up. [*Doh!*]

So what do I think of the news? On the one hand, I am super happy *K-On!* is coming back and more material is being made. On the other hand, we have no idea what it will include besides new characters. In terms of what it'll be like, I believe one of three things will happen. One, Shuffle will take place during the main *K-On!* series but at a different school and the original characters will make cameos here and there, similar to the *Lucky Star* spin-off *Miyakawa-ke no Kuufuku*. Two, Shuffle will take place after Asusa, Ui, and Jun have graduated because remember, we have no idea what Nao and Sumire did after that. Did they continue the like music club or quit and move on to different clubs? Three, Shuffle will be like *Love Live! Sunshine!!* where the new characters will learn about the original cast and try to follow in their footsteps. We have no idea and no way to know, only to wait and see what Kakifly decides to do. If I have to be honest, I kind of hope it doesn't end up a flop like *BanG Dream!* initially did.

To close the video and give my final thoughts, I am really happy, as I said before, that we're getting more *K-On!* It might not be the season 3 fans have been begging for, but I say it's better than nothing and I for one am looking forward to seeing what comes out. Let me know in the comments section what you think of this news—if you didn't already know—and let me know what you think will happen. But please try to avoid spoiling anything. I want to be surprised, as does the *K-On!* community in general. That's all for now, so please remember to rate, comment, and subscribe, don't forget to follow me on Twitter and as always, stay chilled.
