Those of you who have been following this blog for a few anime seasons– i.e. those of you who remember my Shugo Chara! layout –know that although I rarely enjoy mahou shoujo anymore, I adore Peach-Pit’s Shugo Chara!. So of course, I was thrilled to hear via 2nn that the series is going to continue through its second year, which will begin this August.

Some of you (especially Desu fans!) may remember the hubbub over Rozen Maiden last year. After taking a hiatus due to differences of opinion between creators Peach-Pit and their editors at Comic BIRZ, the series was unceremoniously wrapped up in a single chapter, supposedly the final installment.
But Canned Dogs has word that the series has made an appearance in the mangabon Young Jump, featuring a one-shot about how lead doll Shinku was originally made. They also claim to have a “big announcement” next month, which fans are speculating will be that the series will continue serialization in Young Jump.
We can only hope desu~.
According to MantanWeb, the theme song for the upcoming PEACH-PIT anime Shugo Chara! going to be performed by two members of Beryyz Koubou (”Koubou” means “workshop”), the little sister protogee band of the popular girl group Morning Musume.

I did dig up this video of the gals making the announcement at the Nakayoshi Fest, though.
