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. ^_^

yeah i did read that in you notes i really didn't know it was that hard to put african characters in manga. well it nice to know you would have consider it you know it only because black characters are so far in between in manga and anime but thanks for you response. but hopfully you can put a black member in the crew later

Thanks for your answer.
