Itokichi's story of high school boy & handsome merman who moves into his bathtub
The June issue of Kadokawa's Comic Gene magazine is announcing on Thursday that a television anime adaptation of Itokichi's Orenchi no Furo Jijō (The Circumstances in My Home's Bathtub) manga has been green-lit.
The four-panel manga begins with Tatsumi, a high school boy who lives by himself. Then, a devastatingly handsome merman named Wakasa moves into the bathtub in Tatsumi's home. Wakasa is a bit self-centered but cute, while Tatsumi is cool but a busybody. The manga offers a peek into their lives together.
Itokichi launched the manga in Comic Gene in 2011, and Media Factory (Kadokawa) published the third compiled volume last May.
