Cast will be chosen through public audition? I've never really heard of any studio doing that sort of selection. I guess this is a chance for some new seiyuu to make their debut.

The manga art looks alright and I hope the anime delivers. Not really familiar with Asahi Production's works, but will be looking forward to this.

Meh.
I'm not to fond of the manga artist's style, to be honest.
Maybe I went a little too far back into the strip?
We'll see how it goes.

A generic studio making idol anime is likely a skip.

I get the feeling this will be bad, not due to the public audition, I trust that Asahi will find the best girls for the job, my issue is the anime itself, it's handled by a very below average studio notable for shorts.

I probably won't watch it, but I think that having public auditions is an interesting idea. I hope it leads to a solid cast.

That would be really interesting. If it does happen, I hope whoever makes it executes it well.
まぁ、全部嘘だけどね。

I'm curious enough, so I'll check it out when it airs. In fact, I'll have a look at the web manga link provided, so thanks!

And the public audition part is an interesting move on their part.
