Yui Kuroe will begin serializing a manga based on the franchise titled Project Scard: Kemono-tachi no Seigi in Shounen Magazine Edge on September 17.
Frontier Works began the Project Scard franchise in November 2019 and produced drama CDs, character songs, and voice actors livestream programs.
Gives more K vibes, glad it's not like Handshakers.
Also I feel like their character design keeps getting shittier as GoHands announces new projects, they can't keep up K's quality.
Very exciting to see a Project Scard anime happening this soon and comedy comments by salty males ofc. I've been interested since this is a GoHands project where characters actually look much better (no babyfaces, everyone looks their age and pretty/sexy). I hope it will be the next great K.
Who even watches these type of things. The strange 3D backgrounds and the hyper-feminized males with no other chars present gives off a reviling 1990s SK PC game aesthetic.
