posted on by Egan Loo
North American anime licensing company Sentai Filmworks announced on Friday that it acquired the Tonari no Seki-kun: The Master of Killing Time television anime. The series will be available "on select digital outlets with a home video release to follow."
Takuma Morishige's original Tonari no Seki-kun (My Neighbor Seki) manga revolves around a girl named Rumi Yokoi who sits next to a boy known as “Seki-kun.” During class, Seki-kun continues to not pay attention and instead creates amazingly throrough little distractions, such as a detailed golf course with the course's hole being a dent in his desk, or an entire dramatic war being played out by paper shogi pieces.
The manga inspired the 2014 anime series with Yuji Mutoh directing at Shinei Animation and Kana Hanazawa and Hiro Shimono heading the voice cast. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan.
Vertical is publishing the manga in North America.
