Shueisha provides the following description of Kagijin:

The following is Anedoki's story summary:

And yet, seeing that Kota is in trouble, she forces him to let her stay at his house!? Who is this girl!? What does she want!? More than that, how about Kota's heart-pounding life with the beautiful older girl!? Can Kota control himself when confronted with her voluptuous body right before his eyes!? Mizuki Kawashita of Ichigo 100% and Hatsukoi Limited fame presents this pulse-racing older girl love comedy!!

Shueisha's shonenjump.com website is still serializing installments of Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga (exclusively in color on the web) and Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga. The website and its Jumpland predecessor have previously posted the only official English-language manga samples of Bakuman., Meister, Kuroko no Basuke, Bokke-san, Beezlebub, Hoopmen, Akaboshi, and Medaka Box.
