Web Manga 'Awajima Hyakkei' Gets Anime
Oota Publishing announced an anime adaptation of Takako Shimura's Awajima Hyakkei (One Hundred Views of Awajima) web manga on Thursday.
Shimura began serializing the school drama manga on the pocopoco website in June 2011. The manga then switched to the Oota Web Comic site in 2016 where it ended on March 15. Oota Publishing will publish the fifth and final volume on May 13.
Awajima Hyakkei won the Excellence Award in the manga division at the 19th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2015.
Synopsis
This omnibus adolescent drama is about a group of young girls who all attend a "girls-only musical school," recounting the formative years they shared, at times shifting between different characters' viewpoints and time.
Awajima Musical School Training Camp, dubbed the "boarding house," is where young girls gather from all over Japan to perform on stage: Tabata Wakana aspires to be a musical star; housemaster Takehara Kinue attends to carry on her best friend's wishes; beautiful Okabe Emi is a scholarship student who is always at the center of attention; and Ibuki Katsurako, who became a teacher at the school though originally from a family of actresses.
The unique environment of the musical school is simultaneously a respite space for these aspiring girls and also a harsh battleground that pits young students against each other. It is a place where perseverance can lead to blossoming talents, but also to a cruel reality at times. The clear depiction and psychological portrayal allow the subtle inner workings of each character to come through. (Source: Japan Media Arts Festival, edited)

@yamiyugi101 Well, many of them are either very popular or written by famous authors like here.
Also, is it just me or does the story have something to do with Takarazuka?
