The manga centers on a landlord who find a ring that can control creatures such as yōkai, and he uses it on a snow woman living in one of the apartments


Usually there’s blackmail involved in these kind of stories.

It starts with brainwashing in chapter 1 and then becomes kind of sweet in chapter 2

so...

They would change it story definitely. It reminds me of that dark elf anime that also originated as a doujin but got a manga that made the story wholesome i guess

Yeah I can't see that kind of stuff flying in a TV anime. That first chapter is just brainwashing for full on non-consensual "shenanigans". It'll be interesting to see if and how they'll rework it.

I'm sure folks will be very clear-minded and mature about the inevitable reworking that's going to happen here Anime smile + sweatdrop

Anyway, I always did wonder why this didn't get more chapters even after the clear story beats that Chapter 2 ended off on. I guess this has been in the works for a while? Here's hoping the designs do the original justice.

Hmm, I wonder if fans of this will be happy or sad considering it will no doubt be more tame than the source. I guess it depends if people are reading it for the plot or the "plot"

I mean, Redo of Healer exists. With actual torture during its "scenes". If that can get a TV anime I don't think there's anything stopping this.

Your sense of humor is vile, mean-spirited and unfunny.

The fact it's a TV anime makes me think it's going to be watered down into ecchi because there's no way they're adapting the source material as-is, especially into a possible 12 episode season.

TV anime could mean it's 5 minutes long and heavily censored, while a uncensored version is streamed on the web.

Normally yeah, but we are getting. " Do you like big girls" this season and it's even more uncensored than the manga.

As far as I can tell it’s only 2 chapters so it’ll probably be one of those 5 minute style things.

And that cliffhanger Mad

The fact that the series is called "the widow snow woman" makes me think it won't be as bad as it could be. Or at least, it could have been worse.
