[email protected] Romantic Comedy Light Novels Get Anime
posted on by Egan Loo
The December Gahō flyer insert from Shogakukan's Gagaga Bunko imprint is announcing that an anime adaptation of Akira's [email protected] light novel series has been green-lit. More details will be provided in future Gahō inserts.
The story follows a hikikomori (shut-in) named Sasami who is unmotivated about even changing clothes or eating. Her brother takes care of her, even though she despises his slave-like nature. Sasami spends her days viewing the outside world via a "Brother Surveillance Tool" on her computer. In the outside world, the three beautiful Yagami sisters and Sasami's brother are in the middle of relationships worthy of a romantic comedy.
After his earlier Kyōran Kazoku Nikki novels were adapted into anime in 2008, Akira launched the [email protected] light novel series in 2009. The sixth volume shipped in August.
