| Wow, the manga won 2 awards? Must be really good. Not familiar with this one but Hachimitsu to Clover was great so looking forward to it. |

 |
| Dude, that music video was beautiful. This is FANTASTIC news. |
 |
| hmm, this looks interesting |
| :3 |
| this sounds really interesting, will watch. |
 |
| This sounds interesting, but I am wary about it being by the person who did Honey and Clover, as I didn't exactly enjoy most of that and felt that it was massively overrated. Hopefully this doesn't have that same issue. |
| Nice. Again, will be watching the anime, and may even read the manga beforehand as well. |
 |
| I've only heard good things about this so I'm excited. Hopefully Bump of Chicken will perform the OP! |
| Great! Was planning on reading it after watching the music video and also wondered if they will ever make an anime adaptation of it. How happy I am now that they really will make one. |
| The manga looks interesting, am really looking forward this:D Can at least read some chapters beforehand:P |
| About damn time. I fell behind on the manga, but I'm greatly looking forward to this. Umino Chika is wonderful. |
| Heard good things about this, kewl |
  |
| Finally!!!!!!!! The next Enlightening anime is coming!!!! i hope it`s gonna air on Winter season. |

Hopefully this doesn't have that same issue. I'm actually quite interested to hear the reasons why Honey and Clover is overrated. |
 |
| Yessss I really like the manga. Excellent news! |
 |
| omg YES!! |
| Yes! Excited for this one - the characters seem to realistically demure in the synopsis. Hoping it'll be great! |
| I thought the author had no plans of animating the manga if the source (manga) wasn't finished yet. Or maybe it was from a different "hit" manga, which I totally forgot the name. Glad to have it animated tho. |
 |
| The manga is on my PTR list for quite a long time now. I probably wait for the anime and decide if I will read it with the manga. |
 |
| Okay so i was planning to read this manga since...2 years ago, but i was delaying reading it every time, since i had this small hope inside me that this gets anime so i can watch it first.Why? because judging by synopsis/info/music videos/cms for it i've seen, i think that this series can work REALLY well as anime, maybe even better than actual manga (which i will read right after anime finishes so i can see the difference).As a big fan of Honey and Clover anime i have big expectations and i'm HYPING AF.It's finally time. |
 |
| Bet it'll come out around the same time as volume 12, around Summer or next Fall. |
 |
| Woah. No way. NO WAY. |
| holy shit PLEASE J.C.STAFF i know they're retards BUT IT'S BETTER THAN NOTHING |
| Well well well. Just when i was thinking that i should read it pretty soon. I guess i'll wait then now that the anime is coming ! |
 |
| I'm very interested in this, totally gonna watch also I should watch honey and clover too, chica umino's art is so cute |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| Given the pretty glowing opinions on the manga, I can't help but be excited for this. |
| The cats better get the spotlight and the best animation :) |
 |
| Sure, I'll check this out. |
| It's like everything I've been planning on reading lately is getting an adaptation. This is good news, this manga seems really good and it's won some awards as well. Hopefully the adaptation is fine. Seems perfect for noitaminA. It's been long overdue, though. It's pretty damn popular in Japan, and it's only now getting an adaptation? |
| IM FUCKING SCREAMING I love this series and it's such a nice SOL. I hope Natsuki Hanae gets the main role. I always imagined his voice when reading it. umashikaneko said: danieltortoisee said: This sounds interesting, but I am wary about it being by the person who did Honey and Clover, as I didn't exactly enjoy most of that and felt that it was massively overrated. Hopefully this doesn't have that same issue. hachi-clo's is shoujo and 3gatsu is seinen which indeed having mostly male fanbase dispite shoujo ish artstyle,so it does not matter if you liked hachi clo or not No, HnC is Josei. I've read both manga and they don't differ much in feeling and atmosphere. Main difference is that 3gatsu has no romance so far. |
| I'm so excited for this...I loved Honey and Clover so hopefully this is just as good, if not better. |
| HYEEEEEEPPPPPEEEEDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My wishes had come true. And please, J. C. Staff should adapt that masterpiece. 3gatsu isnt seinen tho so please correct that information. 3gatsu is Shounen for god's sake |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| Oh my god, finally. It was about time. Remv_quevav said: HYEEEEEEPPPPPEEEEDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My wishes had come true. And please, J. C.

 |
| I'm so glad and excited about it *^*! Hope it will be a great anime adaptation & doesn't disappoint me :D |
 |
| That art is so out of place in the seinen genre, it's obviously Josei style, it's a SoL and deals with Shogi so I'll watch it. |
 |
| I've been waiting for this. Hoping it would get adapted. Oh, joyous day! |
