Welcome news, but not all too surprising given its popularity.

Curious to see the casting for the leads.

I'm glad it's getting an anime, but doesn't seem like there will be enough manga material yet if there's only 3 volumes out.

Haruka from Sailor Moon came to mind when I read synopsis.

It was only a matter of time, i guess they will extend the chapters with original scenes to avoid having a succession of events that happens too quickly given how short they are.

I feel like it's going to feel really weird if it's not still like super green, it's such a part of the visual identity

Yeah, this was my thought. The manga itself is 4-page bursts, frequently with reasonable time gaps between, so it's easily feel very choppy and disjointed if adapted directly. Will be interesting to see how they handle pacing and structure. Pseudo-harem recently did a good job of having a series constructed largely from little vignettes that none the less hung together as a cohesive whole it might end up something like that.

They're also gonna need to license a whole pile of western music.

I’m thinking it’s going to be a short-form series

Yeah I could see it working well as either 4 minute or 12 minute episodes

Green Yuri better stay green or I riot. XD

God, though, this is plenty exciting! The series really deserves it, and I bet the author is over the moon. Congrats to her!

Aye, reminds me of how Play It Cool Guys got that treatment.

Still feels like a weird choice to give this series an adaptation so soon though if it only has 3 volumes.

Awesome! Pretty much everyone here expressed my sentiments here! I'm definitely looking forward to how scenes are elongated or moved around for a more smoother experience. I've watched quite a few 4-koma anime that go up and beyond with its iteration of the medium.

On another note, I wish there was a better way to receive ANN's news besides social media because the post for this article on Facebook was full of unsavory comments u.u. I receive their email newsletter, but it's kind of jumbled and focuses on highlight articles. Maybe I should just do it the old-fashioned way and visit the site and peruse like one would read a daily newspaper.

I always feel refreshed reading everyone's educated thoughts and opinions on the forum~

Nice, I just recently binged the manga. Now let's just hope whatever studio gets it can deliver without running into any production issues.

Good ol' RSS/Atom is still an option.

Oh, thanks for the suggestion! I need to up my internet literacy as I've never familiarized myself with RSS feeds (and forgotten about it to boot). It's a bit embarrassing, but everyone has to start somewhere, eh? Today's that day for me!

Oh this is SUPER news. My English copy of V2 arrives tomorrow and I’ve got the JPN V3 on pre-order.

Curious how they’ll go for licensing for all the songs for the series.
