If you're like me, you're still holding out some small hope for more Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun anime. It's been four years, sure, but I'd gladly watch more if given the opportunity. Unfortunately, I don't have any anime news to share, but there is a unique collaboration coming up featuring the Nozaki-kun crew.

The manga recently reached its 100 chapter milestone and Square Enix will release the manga's 10th compiled volume this month. The characters from the manga are celebrating the achievement by forming an idol group . Fans will get to choose the group's "center" for a chance to win exclusive merchandise. The idol unit includes Nozaki, Hori, Kashima, Waka, Mikorin, and Mayu.

Votes are cast at Gangan Online 's special campaign page. The page includes a form readers can submit to win a wall scroll, t-shirt, character fans, and character hangers.

Not sure who to vote for? The site also has a quiz to help you pick your favorite Nozaki-kun idol.

A cafe dedicated to the newly formed idol group will open at Ikebukuro's Anime Paradise Cafe on October 3 and run until December 2. The cafe will have exclusive merchandise, a themed menu, and more.
