Bleh, ugly art is ugly.

The story doesn't sound like it would be worth being adapted into a theatrical movie, either. Now they are even wasting movie budgets on school comedies...

ROD the OVA movie had a bizarre premise about book nerds and that sort of thing too, and I thought it turned out well. So who knows....

I haven't read the series myself, but I've heard from a big fan of the novels that it is very much a mystery series, not a school comedy. To quote his explanation of the series:

Agilis wrote:
The overall genre of the books is mystery, and the books each focus upon one of the characters as a mystery slowly unfolds. And befitting the title, each book also has a famous literary work as its central theme, often providing parallels or hints. Sometimes it is a classic piece of Japanese literature, like Osamu Dasai’s “Ningen Shikkaku” (人間失格), Kyoka Izumi’s “Yasha ga Ike” (夜叉ヶ池, ), or Western classics such as Emily Bronte’s “Wuthering Heights” and Gaston Leroux’s “The Phantom of the Opera”. Other smaller works by the same authors as the central work and even the biographies of the authors themselves are often drawn into solving the mystery.

Source: Neechin.net (more details about the series in the source link)

Though I'm excited about this, I'm worried how they could properly do this justice with only a movie adaptation.
