Looks like something fun to watch

But yeah, the choice of director is weird af, he only directed heavy ecchi stuff and hentai xD

Definitely gonna watch. This manga is internal-scream-worthy funny as fook. The dry humor, misunderstanding humor, tsukkomi-worthy humor, basically all types of humor from the characters is just pure enjoyment. I just hope all the great jokes manage to translate onto the adaptation properly.

oh, and you need to keep character on check... if you underestimated how many character is:take a look



this is taken from vol 4 out of 7 volume and the character still expanded even until now!

What xD Now I really can't see it working but mmkay. Is it even possible to remember every single character by name and personality within yonkoma like that?

Some really good guy on batoto give his best effort to make character sheets... So even I, didn't remember most of characters straight away... I even oftenly reread the chapter where they appear... The translator also starting to mention what currently couple on focus in the chapters title... lOl...

Haven't read a chapter in a while since the different chapter numbering between the magazine and doujin version left me confused. It'll be nice to check this one out again.

Pretty excited for this although yeah, nobody has pointed out that the director behind this series is the guy who did Seikon no Quaser, which as you might have guess, Seikon is pretty damn high on dose of fanservice and ecchi, I'm not even joking (but even then the show was so fun yet stupid, loved that shit).

Script Writer... Eh, I think it works for how its worth because I assume this is a SoL/Romance type of series so it works, character designer and studio selection are nice, since I loved Yuri Kuma Arashi's character designs, and Studio Gokumi (they did Yuuki Yuuna and Kiniro Mosaic and others, so it should be nice to see)

Pretty excited about this. The manga is awesome.

Feb 11, 2017 11:47 AM by removed-user

Awesome! I wonder how they'll handle the pacing, but I'm looking forward to it.

Feb 11, 2017 11:19 AM by Kami-Koto

I knew it would get an anime adaptation!

Feb 11, 2017 11:10 AM by waalex11

Yay! More romance manga adaptation is always a good thing but to actually adapt an adorable one as this is hard to find these days! Looking forward to the anime version! I read the manga for a while and I have to say it's been very cute! :)

I'm only watchig this for Minegawa, the prez and Love master.

The characters from the visual looks nice. Added.

Is no one gonna point out that the director has only done porn?

Great, was expecting this when I heard there's gonna be a big announcement for it. Glad it turned out to be true after all. Let's see how they'll make this work.

Kuma said:
how is this even works? 1 couple per episode? that's freaking absurd... not even a season will give you glimse a couple more than 3 times.... not to mention they appeared rondomly nad loosely related to each other...

seriously, i am really interesting hwo they will handle it... when i first tough about it, long run series of short probably best way to adapt it...

oh, and you need to keep character on check... if you underestimated how many character is:take a look



this is taken from vol 4 out of 7 volume and the character still expanded even until now!

butstill.. happy 2 of my favorite 4 koma got adapted in a wekk (after aho girl)...

Um, why should they make it 1 couple per episode? They could just put multiple couples per episode in multiple segments and adapt normally from the manga while adding some original-anime stuff to help ease out the pace and whatnot.

Well, there's always a chance for them to mess up but I hardly doubt it for a series like this one that mainly focuses on character relationships and romance.


sorry, probably because i am jumped to conclusion based on picture that showed couple that already showed more than 3 times...

i simply think that normal adaptation is gonna make anime viewer harder to become invested in character since anime viewer didn't used to this kind of approach (jumbled lot of character at early and not developed properly until later, remember mayoiga?)...

YEEEEEEEES
This manga is so good, I'm so happy right now. I wonder If it will be a short.
Anyway can't wait, I just wish the manga sites didn't let the chapters all jumbled...
the confusion happened because there is wakabayashi toshiya 4-koma (which web version of this) and they are translated by different group.. if you read both of them, i think you wildn't miss anything.. also i suggest to read it in batoto or their scanlation site instead usual manga site i don't remember they licenced or not..
