posted on by Egan Loo
The February issue of Kadokawa's Young Ace magazine announced on Monday that an anime promotional video is in the works for The Little Match Girl (Match Shōjo) manga by Sanami Suzuki. The Kadokawa Anime channel on the YouTube service plans to offer the 60-second video in February.
Takayuki Kuriyama (DRAMAtical Murder episode 12) is directing the anime at the studio NAZ. Masayori Komine is designing the characters, and Shūji Katayama (Francesca, Overlord, Yurumates3Dei) is composing the music.
The original manga follows the somewhat mysterious daily life of an enigmatic girl named Rin. Her "delusion matches" turns momentary delusions into reality in their flickering flames. The name of the manga draws inspiration from a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen.
Kadokawa published the first two compiled book volumes of the manga in November 2014 and July 2015.
