Hi was wonder will be any more additions to the Aoi house character group? i would be kind of cool if you added a black otaku character. that would be awesome just something i wanted to throw out their. if not the manga is still awesome. thanks to anyone who read this. :happyhappy:

Aoi House line-up is pretty much filled right now. Vol. 3 will have some new characters, but they probably won't be joining Aoi House.

If you read the Aoi Notes in the back of Aoi House Vol. 1, I actually talk about how Jessica was going to be African-American at one point. The reason she was eventually reimagined as a Korean-American nurse character is really because it's not at all easy to ensure tone quality on dark-skinned characters in manga. It's just a technical hurdle more than anything. If the book were in color, we probably would've had someone that was hot like Haley Berry hitting on Alex and Sandy. ^_^
