Is the girl in the visual the one in the manga cover too?

Knowing their work on Nichijou, I've been wishing that KyoAni would actually make this comedy series' character design look closer to the manga. From that visual, now that looks simply being KyoAni-zed.

Will this be a TV short like the previous works?

Because I'm having a hard time imagining this story having enough material to fill 12 half-hour timeslots.

Nope. Full length. The average chapter length is around 12 pages though some are a few pages longer. There are 39 chapters so far which is more than enough material for a single cour. I can easily see 22 minutes covering 3 chapters each per episode.

Not to mention she went up a few cup sizes.

Actually she didn't. In the manga itself she is well endowed (if I recall correctly she is a DD) and as you can guess it serves as the basis for some jokes

She's not the largest of the Dragon Girls either.

Looking forward to this one, it isn't all jokes.

I really hope that KyoAni does not try to screw this anime. The anime art is nice.

The cover is still much, much closer to how she looks in the manga than how it looks like she's going to look in the anime.

I really don't know what to think with those designs personally. I love that more of this mangaka's stuff is getting animated, but the fact it seems like their art style is going down the toilet here really kills part of it.
