This is getting an anime? Lol, I'm prepared for the comedy. There's actually quite a lot of chapters so even a 2 cour is possible.

As someone working on the scanlation of the manga, I am ecstatic about this news. I also hope this will result in an official translation announcement some time in the future.

Oh, I've heard of this one! Average guy spoiler[gets supernatural girl harem, including a vampire, gender bending werewolf, alien, and probably some others] I tried a few chapters. Didn't find it all that funny, but comedy is all in the execution, and there's a lot of potential for a funny show here.

10 volumes? Guess we (probably) won't have to worry about a screwy finish

Whoever voices Youko will need to be able to handle her accent.

It's not quite a harem, as only two of those you listed in your spoilers are even vying for his attention.

Really, the series is less about harem antics and romance and more about every character being dumb in a specific way that complement each other and cause some hilarious shenanigans. Everyone gets a chance to tsukomi, and everyone gets the chance to be the butt monkey. I highly encourage you to give it another try.

Looks interesting and funny, I think I've found a new manga to read which is good. I was just starting to finish my current series and was pondering what to get next.

This is awesome news! Ever since I started following the manga, I'd been wondering how popular it was since it would be awesome as an anime. Now it's gotten one!

Looks pretty interesting. At this point, with 10 volumes as materials, let's just hope it'll have solid storyboards and won't have the makers rely on original fillers.

I love this manga. On first glance this seems like usual harem antics but this ones all about the non-ecchi comedy.

Sorry to state the obvious but that cover art is horrible and those are the pics used to sell the series. Writing aside, it's going to be an uphill battle visually. Is the guy on the magazine cover the ... guy? {Even Negi made it on the cover of Negima every once in awhile} Damn, is that a nose on his face or did his penis decide to travel for the winter?


Wow. The writing would have to be good, yeah, the rest of it looks like it isn't. It's a story about keeping a secret and each tank cover reaffirms that in a way that reminds me of...

Ok, I got to know; Did this artist use to draw porn? There are tell tale signs all over it.

Wow, talk about judging a book by it's cover. The art is one of the things I adore about the series. It's got a very unique style that is different than a lot of the generic stuff out there. It might not be your cup of tea, but you should at least read a few chapters before deciding that you hate it. Besides which, his art evolves over the course of the series.

Anyway, I'm not just saying this as a member of the scanlation team, but please give it a try. If you can make it past your assumptions, you will find that this series is a lot better than what you are making it out to be.

You're not stating the obvious, you're stating your opinion, which is considerably less factual than you think it is. As well, thank you for sharing with us all that you know the telltale signs of anime porn because you jerk off to anime porn. It paints a colorful picture of you.

I had the feeling it would be animated, and at about this number of volumes (I leaned towards the 12-13 volumes out before announcing the green-lighting, but that isn't too far off).

While I haven't found the series to be particularly funny, I did find it enjoyable. (I'll admit though, the story from the last 10-or-so chapters starts to feel a bit stale. I hope it's just a phase in the story).

A 1-cour with spoiler[the Time Travel arc] as an ending point sounds reasonable.

Hmm, the art is different. Not seen a manga with this style before. I like it. And, I hope that the anime adaption character designs don't stray too far from the original manga designs for the characters.
