One can only hope that the production companies involved have the wherewithal to license a certain song by Toto for the soundtrack...

Yeah, this awfully reminds me of Otter 11, though only it's because it's a gag-animal-themed manga.

Holy shit, this makes it our third comic gene adaption within a year's period.

First news about servamp's Tanaka resumes from her hiatus and now this, what a great time for us gene lovers.

Are there any toucans from Africa? I thought they were South American birds.

Le toucan has arrived, the anime. Hopefully it ends up being fun.

They are, but I guess the creator preferred using a toucan over one of Africa's equally crazy-looking birds

That's right. Kadokawa and pixiv serialize manga with the English title "Businessmen in Africa," but Kadokawa also publishes the book volumes with the slightly more accurate English title "African Office Worker."

Upon looking this up, the only toucans in Africa would be as pets or in zoos.
