An official Twitter account opened on Wednesday announcing that a TV anime adaptation for Shiromanta's romantic comedy manga Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi (My Senpai is Annoying) has been green-lit. Doga Kobo is the producing the anime.

Synopsis
Igarashi Futuba's new job would be great if her senpai, Takeda Harumi, wasn't so incredibly annoying! Futuba hates his laugh, she hates how big he is, and she really hates that he treats her like a little kid. Just because Futuba is short and looks young doesn't make her a kid, and just because she spends so much time with Takeda doesn't mean she sees him as anything but an annoying senpai...or does she?! (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)

Initially published as a web manga on Shiromanta's official Twitter account, the manga began its serialization digitally in July 2018 on Pixiv Comic. Ichijinsha will release the fifth volume on Thursday.

Seven Seas Entertainment is publishing the manga in full-color with the first volume released digitally on May 26. The first print copy will ship on July 7.

Oh hell yea, I love this manga. This is fantastic news to wake up to.
Also, I can't wait to see Futaba's childhood friend animated. Her design is fantastic.

In what world is the senpai either fat OR ugly?
Dude is built, not fat, and no matter how I look at it I can't figure out how he's ugly.

I enjoyed this manga for a while, but the slow release schedule and scattered focus saw me get bored of it after around 50 or so chapters. However, I may pick it up again now and try and get properly into it, as Doga Kobo always do justice to their comedy anime.

Dude is built, not fat, and no matter how I look at it I can't figure out how he's ugly.

His thighs and arms are bulky, his waist is too wide. His hair look nasty and he has a face of an ogre - and facial hair. Yuck!
But that's my opinion, you can disagree, of course.

Ah I see, you're the type of person who can only find thin prettyboys with chins sharp enough to bar them from air travel attractive. How sad.
That aside, calling musculature fat is just dumb.

Yea, I love the manga, but I do have to agree that aspect is pretty weird. I wish mangakas would learn how to draw short characters that still actually look their age.

Interesting. I was interested in this manga, though I only put it on my PTR list and left it there, those ongoing series are sometimes a bother to keep up with. Doga Kobo doing this definitely increased my interest.

You find his physical features attractive, @ysphyr doesn't. Sounds like a simple matter of differing (sexual) tastes. This seems like a non-issue..

They're allowed to have their preferences, but calling him fat is just objectively wrong.

Can it be 'objectively wrong' if it still falls under one of the many adjective definitions of the word?

He's not fat by any definition of the word. He's just tall and muscular.

I'll just assume you're both making your determinations based on pictures of him being dressed.

Not according to the dictionary, so your comment can only be seen as an opinion, not as a matter of fact.

Did you check the definitions? I'd say his body type falls under this one.

large in bulk or circumference.

"a fat cigarette"

He is bulky after all.

I just think it's stupid to define someone as ugly simply because they don't adhere to your extremely specific tastes. It's just plain and simply closed minded and childish.

Except when talking about a person or animal being being fat, they are talking about actual fat cells. You know, the stuff that gets stored or burned? To describe a bodybuilder as fat would just be dumb.

Do you object to the tone of the poster, or that the poster sees the character as unattractive? Because everyone has preferences when it comes to sexual attraction. I would actually agree with you if the character had a marginalised body type. But that's not the case here, so..

The definition I provided has no context label indicating specific usage, meaning you can apply it to pretty much anything. And if the bodybuilder is bulky, then yes, the definition would fit as well. It's not a question of fat cells. It's a question of physical form.

Never heard of it, but looks really wholesome, and Doga Kobo is on board so that's a plus from me!

@this_shit_again I think this person means muscle fat. My brother in law who was part of the army (veteran currently) who had that exact figure was told he was overweight. I'm not sure if that's a matter of military only, or a general thing of being slightly overweight.

Mostly the tone. Also, people can tell when someone is conventionally attractive or at least average even if that person isn't their type. I believe the original person just applied their biases and labeled this character as ugly when by conventional standards he's at least average. (This is putting aside my general disdain for labeling anyone as 'ugly', which I think is a bad mindset to have).

And yea, the definition technically can be applied, but no one would ever normally call someone fat when they're actually muscular. Big, large, thick (or thicc, if you would), etc would fit, but referring to someone as "fat" conjures a very specific image that this character doesn't fit into.

You are extending the term fat so far that (as you said) every person that we dont find sexually attracrive can be called fat, yes just like i can call fat a skinny person or a bulky person, even tho it could be wrong in such cases. There is nothing wrong not knowing bone structure, muscular system etc and how those relate with genetic makeup, as well not knowing what makes a bodybuilder a bodybuilder and just making silly comments. It would be a very simplistic sentence and in some cases very offending, but you can do it. The big point is that people then can make fun of those silly comments, thats the real "non-issue".

Yes, people can tell, and the poster did just that. It's a subjective experience after all. As for tone, I'd say it cuts both ways. For example, you just accused the poster of being biased because they don't share the same ideal of male beauty as you.

Again, I would agree with you if the character had a marginalised body type. But you believe he is average looking by 'conventional standards'. In which case, does he really need 'defending'? Especially when we've had an instance of real body type prejudice over at the Anime Discussion section just yesterday.

I did, and the poster you argued with did too. That's two in this topic alone. So I don't think 'no one' applies here. When you talk about image conjuring, you're basically talking about your imagination. How you visualise it in your head. That's your subjective experience. It's your opinion, not objective fact.
