SENRYUU GIRL THE ANIME

Anime studio CONNECT is turning Senryuu Girl, the comedy school manga by Masakuni Igarashi, into an anime for Spring 2019.  The adaptation for the slice of life series has revealed an official website (https://thathashtagshow.com//senryu-girl-official.com). The site lists some of the staff and cast for the upcoming anime, plus a promotional image.  They also tweeted out the anime design for the series lead Nanako Yukishiro.

THE CREATOR

Igarashi writes and illustrates Senryuu Girl, which Kodansha publishes.  It began publication in October 19, 2016 and is still ongoing, with 7 volumes currently out. Another work illustrated by Igarashi is Dekoboko Animation.  It was published in the Weekly Shonen Magazine from June 3 to September 2, 2015 for a total of 14 chapters, compiled into 2 volumes.

SENRYUU GIRL SYNOPSIS

Yukishiro Nanako is a cute, cheerful high school girl with one peculiar trait – instead of verbal communication, she writes senryu (a type of haiku) poems to relay her thoughts. Together with ex-delinquent Busujima Eiji, they are budding freshmen of the school’s Literature Club.  Even though Nanako doesn’t talk, with the power of senryu, the adorable pair has no problem enjoying their fun school-life through the tune of 5-7-5 syllables.

THE LEAD

The series’ lead character Yukishiro Nanako will be played by voice actress and singer Kana Hanazawa.  She has voiced dozens of fan-favorite characters, including Ruri Gokō (aka Kuroneko) in Oreimo, Mayuri Shiina in Steins;Gate, Akane Tsunemori in Psycho-Pass, and Charlotte Dunois in Infinite Stratos.
