I know this is an old piece of news, but that doesn't make it less amusing and original.
Rui Tamachi launched the magazine serialization of the Gokicha (Cockroach Girls) four-panel comedy manga in the September issue of Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara Carat magazine on Thursday.
The title character Gokicha is an anthropomorphized cockroach (gokiburi in Japanese) who came to the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido from Tokyo's Kanto area to look for a human friend.Tamachi originally created the manga under the dōjin (self-published) circle name Rui-Tomo at the Comic Market 77 event in December of 2009.
Plans for a mobile anime were revealed in January. Nerd-Goods.com already sells a t-shirt based on the character. Aoshima is releasing plastic models of Gokicha and fellow cockroach girl Chaba this month.
