Special A Shōjo Manga to be Animated for Television

Issue 21 (on sale October 5) of Hakusensha's Hana to Yume shōjo manga magazine has announced that Maki Minami's high school manga S.A (Special A) will be animated for Japanese television. The manga focuses on Hikari, a headstrong girl who enrolls in an elite academy and joins the school's special class ("Special A") to compete with Kei, a childhood rival who is actually in love with Hikari. The manga first began in Za Hana to Yume bimonthly magazine in 2003, but moved to its biweekly Hana to Yume sister publication in 2004. Viz Media will release the first English-translated volume on November 6. Source: Moon Phase
