The stage event schedule of Dengeki Bunko Spring Festival 2016, which will be held on March 13 in Akihabara, has revealed an original anime project titled Girlish Number. The voice cast of the project will be announced at the event.

Girlish Number was previously revealed in the January 2016 issue of Dengeki G's magazine as a new light novel project by author Wataru Watari (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru.) and illustrator QP:flapper (MM!). A manga series will also be announced in the March 2016 issue of the magazine, which will go on sale on January 30.

The series follows Chitose Karasuma, a university student who aims to become a voice actress (seiyuu). The stage event listing further indicates that it focuses on the profession of idol seiyuu.

Could they not pick a better title? "Girlish Number" does not sound anything like an idol seiyuu-centric anime. Oh well..

The stage source announced it as an original project. Likely part of a media mix project.

this actually seems interesting if they make it like shirobako/bakuman where they show how it works but it'll probably end up being cute girls doing cute things

Normally I'd agree, but if Watari is involved, there should be no reason for it to take that direction.

That's because QP:flapper also did the original character designs for Girlfriend (Kari).

It sounds very much like the title of an idol anime to me, since they tend to have bad titles.

Not to mention Dengeki G's published works often have word salad titles and it's been that way for over 15 years.

I'm not expecting Oregairu or anything but they'll probably get somewhere even with a basic concept.

I would not expect a WUG for seiyuu from anything serialized in Dengeki G's.
