Looking forward to it, just hoping that it won't be another of these 5 minute anime.

I certainly hope not...

Seinen huh.

looks like something I'm going to watch

I have been waiting for it to be animated since I bought its vol.1 long time back !!

I hope they keep the color palette used in the manga, which shows the sunny countryside in such a charming way.

The hair designs are a bit unusual. Wonder if the cute messy lookwill translate to the anime well.

Looks like Comic Alive overwhelmingly does manga adaptations of light novels and games/visual novels, rather than original manga. So I haven't seen many adaptations of original manga from that magazine. Although it did publish Sasameki Koto, which is pretty great.

Its a popular enough manga that I'd assume its a full show.

Actually Comic Alive used to have as many original manga as adaptation but now it has slightly more adaptation (though not yet reaching overwhelming proportion yet). And don't forget MariaHolic which is the most well-known original manga from Comic Alive adapted into anime. And then there is Asamade Jugyou-chu too, and in near future we'll have Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge as well.

Admittedly nowadays the idea is media-mix, so those manga adaptations mostly come as some follow-up auxiliary projects to go with the anime, and this type of manga may be easier to sustain as there is sponsor already.

Uninteresting plot.

I guess it does not have something you would call "plot" anyway. It is a slice-of-life comedy with a lot of funny little episodes anyway. I can imagine that in a remote countryside where a school has only a couple of students and they are all at different ages, things can get quite different compared to people like us who live in big crowded city. The shift in perspective is one of the main appeals of this work I'd say.

Wonder how it will be animated. The cover art looks really good.

i think i'm going to pass on this1

I've heard of it. Might watch depending on the season.

Might be cool.

Another seinen series about the slice of life of little girls...

Little girls doing cute things...And Seinen?
Watching for those hairs.

And there should be more coming. At least this one has some variation: a rural setting and a class of students of vastly different ages.

Yea, instead of highschool students they're elementary and middle school... lols...
