Uoto is placing two new serials at the same Shogakukan magazine that ran Orb while opening a second front at Kodansha, with a credited co-creator on the Afternoon title.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
Uoto, the artist behind Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, announced two new manga series across Friday and Saturday. Hallucination Meat will run in Shogakukan's Weekly Big Comic Spirits, with a launch date still undetermined but expected this year. Test Taker/Cheaters, written by Uoto with art by Kyō Yoneshiro, will run in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon, aiming for the start of next year.
Both titles were teased ahead of time: a methane molecule diagram preceded Hallucination Meat, and a pencil and handgun image preceded Test Taker/Cheaters. Uoto said neither launch date is fixed, with Hallucination Meat expected this year and Test Taker/Cheaters aimed at the start of next year.
The two series split Uoto's work between Shogakukan and Kodansha. Test Taker/Cheaters is a writing role, with Kyō Yoneshiro handling the art.

- Test Taker/Cheaters: Launches in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon; Uoto writes, Kyō Yoneshiro draws; date undetermined, expected at the start of next year
