Huh, this kind of came out of thin air, but it sounds like an interesting project. Being an "otona joshi" myself, I'm sort of curious, but it doesn't seem like the sort of thing that would garner enough interest to be released Stateside, unfortunately.

One would hope that the quality of programming for Otona Joshi no Anime Time will be on the same level of Noitamina. That'd be awesome.

This sounds interesting to me. I'd like to see anime targeted at adult woman. Maybe if we're lucky, it'll stream somewhere.

I saw a trailer on TV.

Apparently it is fully adult-oriented.

Then it won't stream anywhere. The anime script kiddies, er, fans don't like those. Laughing

However, she senses a large emptiness in her heart since coming back. Moreover, there is a man who shares a big secret with Noriko.



That sounds like a premise for some sort of BDSM hentai manga, the creepy looking dude in the image looks all but ready to blackmail the lady and do nasty stuff to her. =(

I watched the RAW and since it doesn't look like anybody's gonna fansub the thing I'll just post what the story is here.

spoiler[Basically, her family runs a bakery/dessert store. After college she was able to get a job in a rather successful company and was stationed abroad, where she married to a co-worker there. And 4 years later she's now returning home from America with her husband and son. Apparently the married life didn't work out that well with her, to the point she developed a eating problem. So she decided to take sometime off at home with her parents.

As the story goes, we found out that when she used to work in her family's store, there was this guy who works for her father whom was somewhat into her. Though they never develop their relationships pass friendship before she took off to America. A few years later a chance encounter with the guy (now with his own shop) on the street during her visit back home before her marrige leads into an one night stand with him.

And now she decides to drop by to see how he's doing. They had a casual chitchat and she found out he now has a family of his own. When he asked about her son's age she told him 3. When she leaves, the man bids her farewell and gave her a box of his desserts. Later at the park, the son asks his mom "Why did you tell him that I'm 3? I know for sure I'm 4!". She replies "Oh, mommy got the numbers mixed up, that's all".]

It's labled adult oriented beacuse the story is geared toward mature audiences. Not beause it had any pornographical elements.

Old thread but I thought I'd bring it up to say a fansub of this first story was made if you want to search it out.

It's a fine story vignette- bittersweet story of missed love
