oh, I can't wait. Hopefully there will be fansubs since I don't see this ever getting licensed.

Are live action series licensed much?

Anyway, this is great news. Smile Is it possible that the manga will ever be licensed. It's pretty funny.

YES!!!

YES, YES, YES!!!

Best news I've heard all day! Very Happy The manga is absolutely hilarious and I always hoped that it would be made into an anime and/or live action series. I'm so glad to see it getting on TV.

Crunchyroll, please license this for simulcast.

Don't see why not. It doesn't have any objectionable content or even much fanservice. It's a Kodansha title, so I'd imagine Del Rey would be the ones to pick it up.

It's a fun little series, but for a romance comedy it's a little too light on the romance. I read about sixty or so chapters before dropping the series, because there was just little so development on the main characters' relationship (or anyone else's, for that matter). Also, the plot twist that spoiler[Shinagawa couldn't realise that the girl he was in love with was actually Adachi without her glasses (despite having seen her without them and the fact being completely obvious to everyone else)] was just really, really stupid.

learned about this one after reading Choku!, which also deserves a license.
