 An official website launched by Aniplex revealed main staff, teaser visual (pictured above), and television format for the anime adaptation of NisiOisiN's Bishounen Series novel on Friday. The anime series will debut under the title Bishounen Tanteidan (Pretty Boy Detective Club) in 2021.  Akiyuki Shinbou (Kubikiri Cycle: Aoiro Savant to Zaregototsukai, Owarimonogatari) is serving as the chief director at animation studio Shaft (Mekakucity Actors, Assault Lily: Bouquet). Hiroki Yamamura (Fate/Extra: Last Encore, Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru) is designing the characters.Kodansha began publishing the novel series through its Kodansha Taiga label in October 2015, featuring illustrations by Kinako (Gatchaman Crowds). The 11th volume shipped on December 20 last year (pictured right). Suzuka Oda (Shinrei Tantei Yakumo) began drawing a manga adaptation titled Bishounen Tanteidan in ARIA magazine in April 2016. Following the discontinuation of ARIA in April 2018, the manga transferred to Shounen Magazine Edge in October that year. Kodansha published the fifth volume last September. Vertical licensed the novel series in English in November 2019 and released the first volume on September 29. The second volume will go on sale on December 29. The publisher also licensed the manga adaptation in English last month and plans to ship the first volume next Summer. Synopsis Mayumi Dojima, a second-year student at the exclusive Yubiwa Academy middle school, has lost something—a star she glimpsed just once, ten long years ago. But help is on the way, in the form of the unofficial, secretive, and thoroughly mysterious Pretty Boy Detective Club! Rumored to solve problems within the school (most of which they themselves might as well created) for reasons aesthetic rather than financial, these five gorgeous boys sweep Mayumi into their world of excitement, danger, and overwhelming beauty.

| Fuck yes I knew it! Its been a while since Shinbo was chief director. His role cant be minimized considering how Magia Record and Assault Lily having less SHAFTness. Also been forever since Hiroki Yamamura was a character designer. |
The 11th volume is scheduled to ship on December 20 (pictured right). That actually happened last year. Anyway, I think the thing I'm most happy about it is that Watanabe isn't the character design after the mixed feelings people got with him doing Kubikiri Cycle |
 |
| mr shinbou and nisio isin :DD ill try it |
 Please don't tell me she's a he. Please. |
| The synopsis kinda reminded me of CLAMP School Detectives. lol Well, this series is called Pretty Boy Detective Club. So I won't be surprised if s/he turns out to be a dude. |

All the character in the picture are guys ahahahaha the girl and main character is this one! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/nisioisin/images/1/1e/Mayumi_manga.png/revision/latest?cb=20181112202358 You actually made me laugh I didnt expect anyone to think any of the boys are girls lol xD |
VanishingKira said: Wonder who the series director will be since Shinbou is list as chief director. Yuki Yase would be a good choice. IMO his style's the closest one to Shinbo's pre-SHAFT gig, and his take on Zaregoto's way stronger than Itamura's steering in Monogatari. |
 Those with dirty minds will find my Steam pic offensive |
| They look more like a circus instead of a detective club.... Anyway, I like detective anime so I'm gonna watch it. |
| I didn’t expect Shaft to adapt this one, I’m really happy to hear that. |
 |
| Please be a yaoi / shounen ai |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
Old_School_Akira said: Please be a yaoi / shounen ai Judging by the synopsis and the fact that the manga is tagged as Shoujo, it's probably closer to a reverse harem than a shounen ai. |
ChroNoiR Episode.0 is the best anime to ever exist Kanae forever in my heart |
jc9622 said: So the guy went from writing a harem series full of chicks to a series full of feminine-looking bois....Interesting but won't be watching it. It has fallen quite low. |
| OH.....MY.....GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They completely ruined the art style!!!!!!!! Why in the heck did they went with the ugly designs of the novel?!?!??! They looked 10000000000000% much better in the manga, i'm very dissappointed!!!!!!!!!! :( |
 My Shoujo, Josei and Female targeted anime adaptations starting from 2017+ stacks: Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9181 Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9195 Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9225 Part 4: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9280 |
| I wonder who will be the series director. I would have bet on Yuki Yase if he hadn't left. Guess it'll either be some new guy or Miyamoto. |
| This looked a bit interesting, but according to Manga-Updates, this is a reverse harem with a female protagonist, so I won't be watching it. |
 |
| Yes, it s a he. What is awesome, more cute and sexy boys. |
| Oh yes cute boys this is what I want nisio |
   |
| Yum, looks interesting. Love cute boys. Will def watch |
 |
| I wonder who will be the Series director as a lot off shaft's talent have eft |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| oh yasss <3 i'm always down for some reverse harem. |
