Kadokawa's official website for the manga Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism (Armed Girl's Machiavellism) has announced that it will be receiving an anime adaptation.

The August 2016 issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Shounen Ace magazine will be revealing more details about the announcement. The magazine will be shipped on June 26 with its cover featuring the manga. The manga's artist also showed enthusiasm about the announcement via Twitter.

Synopsis
The Private Aichi Symbiosis Academy was originally a high school for high-class girls. When it became co-ed, the girls, out of fear, asked to be permitted to bring weapons to school. When that was enforced, a five-member vigilante corps-like organization called the "Supreme Five Swords" was also formed.

After many generations, the five swords eventually became a group which corrected problematic students, and the academy started proactively accepting such students in order to correct them.

Nomura Fudou was sent to this school after being part of a huge brawl. What will he do when the only options he has after enrolling are being expelled from that school or being corrected the way the rest of the male students there were...by being forced to dress and act like a girl!

The series is written by Yuuya Kurokami and drawn by Karuna Kanzaki. It has been publishing since March 2014 and has four compiled manga volumes, with the fifth volume being released on July 26, 2016. ComicWalker's website offers the first three chapters of the manga to read online for free.

You lost me at the bit about the forced crossdressing.

But seriously, this sounds ridiculous at worst and dull at best. Definite pass from me.

I've only seen a few chapters of it so far and it's been enjoyable. Wasn't expecting an anime adaptation of this at all. I like most of the characters here. They were pretty badass.

For some of my other favorite manga to receive an anime adaptation.......might be impossible. >_> But I'm still looking forward to this one.

Do anime writers just throw darts at the dart board to decide upon project names? Because reading that desc and the project name, how the hell does that name make any sense?

Machiavellianism is "the employment of cunning and duplicity in statecraft or in general conduct". The word comes from the Italian Renaissance diplomat and writer Niccolò Machiavelli, who wrote Il Principe (The Prince), among other works.


How does the title connect to "battle school with traps" plot again?

Either way plot sounds very generic been there done that kind of deal and overall this sounds like a grade A trainwreck. That character design reminding me of Another is certainly not helping. Not to mention it just oozes edge.

Let's hope it gets fitting studio to up the ridiculous nonsense to eleven so it becomes so bad its good kind of legend.

I remember reading the series awhile ago..really weird imo. I'm surprised this is getting an anime adaptation but expecting some crazy stuff to go down. The story is all over the place though and I think they may go for anime original.

That broken mask looks exactly like a broken part of shinigami 3ban's mask in kyouran kazoku nikki.

Weird stuff.

Pretty surprised that this manga will get adaptation, i mean it is good, but i don't think that it reached the point for adaptation. I won't set my expectations high especially until the studio will be announced.

Oh, Hell yeah. I had wished that the Manga had gotten translated a bit further, since I was really into it. I look forward to seeing what I do know happen in Anime form. It won't be for everyone, but I definitely want to see it.

I also wish to see more just to properly confirm him a spot in my top Protagonists.

There are plenty of anime where the synopsis doesn't do it justice, some end up being complete shit while sounding great, while others sound great, but turn to shit. Don't be so quick to judge.

OP: This does sound pretty random, so not sure if I'll check it out until more information is revealed.

Well this MC is pretty badass imo. I like the way how he fought against the 5 Female Leads ( 3 to be exactly ) by using his knowledge about various sword fighting skills in battle to figure it out it's weakness and found a way to counter it.
Hope this will be a good show..

Not sure why there's some people who's already judging this series without even reading the first 5 chapter of the manga, anyway it turned me on when I've read these sentence:

"Humans act like small birds. In other words, they can only pay attention to the prey in front of them. Like small birds, they are about to be attacked by Hawks and Eagles flying high in the sky, yet they didn't notice." by Niccolo Machiavelli


The elements of Machiavellianism was present directly "In the workplace"(from wiki)


A new model of Machiavellianism based in organizational settings consists of three factors:

maintaining power
harsh management tactics
manipulative behaviors


And there was some reference from the Philosophies of Mencius and some philosophies from Confucianism

The protagonist is like Hachiman in terms of apperance, he's badass martial artist, and his character execution is well done.

The fights are awesome, not because of the art but because of the Dialogues about how they fight, more like a written novel with art on it.

The girls are pretty generic, but they have unique characteristics. And don't expect for Pretty Traps, the boys have that have turned gays are literally ugly.

Overall the manga is pretty good.

The manga is definitely enjoyable. Legit fight scenes and the MC is a badass. Gives no fucks and takes no shit from the girls trying to fight him all the time.

Seems like something out of a light novel more than a manga tbh, but it could be good depending on its execution so ill give it a try.
