A scan of the wrap-around band of manga Aoharu x Kikanjuu's sixth volume reveals that a TV anime adaptation will be announced with the volume's release on February 27.

The survival game manga series started as one of three one-shots created by debut mangaka NAOE for Gangan Online. Released on July 28, 2011, it follows childhood friends Yukki and Matsuoka. While children, they dreamed of pursuing professional soccer. Now a hentai mangaka, Yukki reunites with Matsuoka and is introduced to his new passion: survival games.

After it gained popularity, a sequel one-shot consisting of two parts was published in GFantasy starting June 18, 2012. The new one-shot introduced Hotaru, a high school girl who dresses as a boy. She goes to confront a host that tricked her best friend out of her money, only to find out that he is none other than her neighbor, Matsuoka…

The series was finally promoted to a full series in GFantasy's February 2013 issue. A PV was released for the manga in September 2014.

Hmm, looks like a series about survival but also gender bender. Sounds weird. Hope it won't end up being a trainwreck.

That premise looks wacky.

On ANN they shortened that this is about a girl crossdressing as a guy(Hotaru), host(Matsuoka) and a hentai mangaka(Yukki) forming a survival team and that really sounds interesting. I just hope this doesn't turn into a reverse harem since all the manga covers have boys on them.

The title certainly sounds interesting. "Aoharu X Kikanjuu" Damnit! Where the word "Ride" in it?

The character designs look awesome though! Hopefully, it'll be an entertaining watch.

I like survival game stuff, but looking at manga covers and PV makes it look like reverse harem with your standard bishounens.Will check anyway, but not expecting great things for now, hopefully i'm going to be surprised.

The girl crossdressing as a guy surrounded by multiple guys fact kind of gives those reverse harem signs.

I don't care if this is reverse harem or not. If it is, fine, if it isn't that's fine with me too. :D

Those are some pretty hot guys on those covers. I'm all for more hot guys. Thank you again, Square Enix!

Ni~ce! This may turn out to be a quite refreshing adaption. Tachibana and Mattsun remind me so much of Haruhi and Tamaki ( ´艸`) I hope the seiyuu casted for this will fit their roles... Looking forward to how this will be received~

Art style looks pretty bland, and it looks a bit like a shounen ai, so i'll pass
