| Horimiya, Wonder Egg, Shadows House, now this? Cloverworks coming in strong this year! |
| Cloverworks , count me in... |
Synopsis Wait a sec... doesn't that last part sound a lil familiar......Akebi Komichi lives out in the countryside with her family. She's won entrance to the prestigious Roubai Academy middle school for girls and now she wants only two things—to wear the school's sailor uniform and to make a hundred friends! Joke aside... hmm PV seems okay, animation looks decent and piano is nice. Yet another "idk if i'd watch it tho" though. |
 |
| Definitely gonna watch this. |
 |
| Probably the most uninteresting title and synopsis i have ever read, also seems like it'll be an all girls cast, so it's a hard pass for me. |
 My Shoujo, Josei and Female targeted anime adaptations starting from 2017+ stacks: Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9181 Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9195 Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9225 Part 4: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9280 |
| CloverWorks should seriously take a break. Yes, their animation somehow is amazing despite all the production issues. But seriously, let those overworked animators rest for some months lol |
| There's no way that they will be able to capture that pure gem of manga. I mean, even in this PV Akebi is like 10x less cute than she's in manga. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| I really like this manga, but in what format will it be adapted? Its chapters are pretty short and very much focused on visuals rather than dialogues. Dauphine said: Probably the most uninteresting title and synopsis i have ever read, also seems like it'll be an all girls cast, so it's a hard pass for me. This manga is fairly typical cute girls SoL about how innocent teenage girls interact innocently, ignoring the fact that their actions are not always subtly sexualized for a male audience. |
 |
| I really didn't expect this, I thought Akebi manga were just some unknown one. This title's strong point is the manga's beautiful drawings, not really sure if the anime could also project the same magic as the manga did. |

This title's strong point is the manga's beautiful drawings, not really sure if the anime could also project the same magic as the manga did. Well, this is the case when work is popular in Japan but not in the West. I saw illustrations from the author for several years, until someone started translating it into English. But yeah, I'm also wondering how this will be handled, given that the chapters are pretty short and very drawing-oriented. |

| jump need more non action series, so count me in. |

I may need to put Komi-san on my radar. |

Non-romance SOL, huh. This manga reminds of a kind of rustic Hibike without music, so I bet after the first 2-3 episodes there will be a bunch of fanboys pretending to have yuri subtext romcom in it. I still remember the dude who thought Jashin-chan Dropkick was "actually" about Medusa and Jashin's deep love story. |

Shippers will try to look for subtext here anyway, personally I'm more worried about how the studio is going to adapt the strong visual focus from the original manga. It hardly makes sense as a regular intimate CGDCT. |
