TV anime based on original manga premiered on October 9

Amazon Japan is listing that a special edition of the compiled volume of Sumeragi and Bandai Namco Entertainment's The Idolm@ster SideM Wake Atte Mini! Returns manga will bundle an unaired The Idolm@ster SideM Wake Atte Mini! anime with an original story on DVD. The special edition of the manga will ship on March 22.

Sumeragi launched the The Idolm@ster SideM Wake Atte Mini! manga in 2016 and ended it in January. Kadokawa published the series' compiled book volume in March. The manga features the characters from The Idolm@ster SideM franchise in super-deformed form.

The Idolm@ster SideM Wake Atte Mini! Returns manga debuted in the November issue of Kadokawa's Dengeki Maoh magazine on September 27.

The original manga is inspiring an ongoing television anime series of shorts that premiered on October 9. Crunchyroll is streaming the show as it airs.

The main The Idolm@ster SideM game launched in July 2014, and is available for iOS and Android devices, as well as on Mobage and ChromeApps. The game has more than 1 million downloads. Like other The IDOLM@STER games, SideM is built on the concept of "idols you can produce." The app focuses on the male idols at the agency 315 Production (pronounced "Saikō Production" or "Ultimate Production"). Another app, The Idolm@ster SideM Live On St@ge, launched in 2017.

The game's 13-episode anime adaptation premiered in October 2017. A prologue special about the three Jupiter idol unit members aired in September 2017. Crunchyroll streamed both anime as they aired.
