 A website has opened for an anime adaptation of comedy manga Onsen Yousei Hakone-chan (Young Hot Spring Spirit Hakone-chan), written by Daisuke Yui. The series will run for one cours of 13 episodes in Fall 2015. The title character is named after the town of Hakone in Kanagawa Prefecture, which is known for its onsen (hot spring) resorts and surrounding volcanically active geysers.The manga was serialized on Aplix's Comic Meteor web platform between 2012 and 2014. Two volumes have been published by Holp Shuppan in November 2013 and April 2014. To commemorate the announcement of the adaptation, Comic Meteor is republishing the first three chapters on its website. Synopsis The story follows Hakone, a hot spring spirit who descended to a spa resort on Earth. However, with her long slumber, she looks like a little girl on the outside. (The "Yousei" in the title is a wordplay on the Japanese words for fairy and a young child.) High school boy Touya stumbles across her at a hot spring and ends up joining Hakone in retrieving her original powers.

| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| Skimmed through the first 3 chapters, and it seems pretty average so far. But it might still be a fun watch. |

| Seems cute enough, I'll give it a shot. |
| Seems average as hell but average is seeming better and better really, lately. |
 |
| Bet this will be a short although that premise kinda amuses me. |
|
| Hot springs? I smell fanservice. |

 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Somehow it reminds me of Kokkuri-san. |
 |
| Eh, I think I'll pass. It sounds kinda cool, but not enough make me want to watch this. |
| Praise the loli goddesses |
  |
| Sounds pretty fun to me. It's also nice that they are adapting a finished manga :) |
| MAL desperately needs a plan to ignore list section. |
 |
| Slice of life and comedy, why not? |

rederoin said: Taylormomsens said: That would make things easier. And the point of coding it in would be...? To gauge the hype for upcoming series. You could for example take the PTW number minus the PTI number and include that on the new seasonal anime chart thingy on MAL for each upcoming title. That might even make people go to MAL instead of Anichart. I'm surprised that I actually managed to come up with a somewhat decent reason :D |
|
| oh god...looks like one of the 948549 anime we have so far |
| Can't life get any better than this. |
 |
| hmmmm interesting |
IndigoBangarang said: That's weird though, but nice. Since it's finished, I hope for at least a decent ending. It's rare to even get an ending for a slice of life comedy series because they just go on forever. >_> While not a bad thing, I want something else for a change.It's also nice that they are adapting a finished manga :) |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
