Sasami-san@Ganbaranai Romantic Comedy Light Novels Get Anime
posted on by Egan Loo
The December Gahō flyer insert from Shogakukan's Gagaga Bunko imprint is announcing that an anime adaptation of Akira's Sasami-san@Ganbaranai light novel series has been green-lit. More details will be provided in future Gahō inserts.
The story follows a hikikomori (shut-in) named Sasami who is unmotivated about even changing clothes or eating. Her brother takes care of her, even though she despises his slave-like nature. Sasami spends her days viewing the outside world via a "Brother Surveillance Tool" on her computer. In the outside world, the three beautiful Yagami sisters and Sasami's brother are in the middle of relationships worthy of a romantic comedy.
After his earlier Kyōran Kazoku Nikki novels were adapted into anime in 2008, Akira launched the Sasami-san@Ganbaranai light novel series in 2009. The sixth volume shipped in August.
