Yay! I'm really looking forward to that :D It's such a cute series. |
Good and certainly not surprising. I wonder who will do the voices. |
Design similar to Bokura Ga Ita = must watch |
isn't this old news? i knew about this like 2 weeks ago. |
Live Action and now anime? Awesome XD |

Great news. I love the manga. Will be very much looking forward to this and the L-A drama.  |
Hopefully the anime will be just as good!  |

I quite like this series; I adore the main character! I mainly started reading it over hearing that a girl like Sadako was ostracized in her class just based on that, that she was like her. Hearing that it was a shoujo sealed the deal! Majorly happy that this is getting animated. :D |

A drama AND an anime? Oh this series is going to turn into my favorite out of three! I love the manga. Cannot wait for April & October~!! |
The chick sounds like reverse-Ryuuji. Art looks good. Gonna watch it. |
I've only read the translated manga so far yesterday - and now I find out about this. I'll be looking forward to the anime. |

yay!! i knew it was gonna happen!! im soo looking foward to it ^^ |
Thought since the drama was announced an anime might be a way off, but so glad I was wrong!!!! :D Like others have mentioned I'm really curious as to who the VAs will be....  |
Heard this was a good manga. Will watch! :)  |
hm, ok. I might be interested in this, actually. I'll be happy to give this a shot when its available.   |
I haven't read the manga yet, but it looks like a great series :3 Music is from the soul~ ♥ |

Gosh the manga is amazing haha I hope they do the animation similar to Lovely Complex because that made the appeal more fun and lively. Bokura ga Ita's colors for its anime fit well with the story, but I think this one is on the more lively side so yeah I hope they don't use the bright coloring too much. I'm watching both the anime and drama when it comes out. xP |
I just began reading this series and I already love it so much already ^^ I would be happy to see an anime adaption for this series <3 |

Haven't read it yet, but... Daisuke Namikawa is in it. MUST SEE. |
Siing said: Siing said: dtshyk said: Hirano Aya Why... Why do people complain about VA's when they haven't even read the manga and know what the character is like? Oh wait I mean, you're so cool for hating on Aya Hirano, all the cool kids do it can I have your autograph and be your friend please!!!! I beg you!!! |
Loving the cast. Noto Mamiko as Sawako makes me smile.  |
omg this cast is gonna be SICKK! namikawa daisuke, nakamura yuuichi and hirano aya. noto mamiko would be perfect for sawako!!! |
I tried reading a few chapters with noto mamiko's voice in my head for Sawako.. and considering she only has one voice... I really don't think it's a good fit. Everyone else casted is great fits imo, Noto could be the weaklink and considering she's the main... |
Finally, but I hope it doesn't get to ahead of itself and actually pass up the manga. Now we need more mangas like these to become animated. Yay, can't waiiit! I agree with a few posts above... ugh, this character would be another Haruhi... -_- |
Ooh, Chara's doing the opening theme. Nice! I'm happy with the cast. I think they'll be great. |
OMG. THAT IS AWESOME. I think Noto Mamiko is perfect for Sawako!! <33 & I love Namikawa Daisuke. Not what I expected, but I'm sure he'll do great. :D  |
Definitely something I'm gonna watch in the fall. :3 Interesting cast... Gotta catch up to the manga~ |
The manga's pretty good. I just need to continue reading it again xD Let's hope the anime won't disappoint. |
i wonder whats gonna happen because the manga isn't even to a point i think they can make the whole anime series. ***********SPOILER************ ***********SPOILER************ ***********SPOILER************ cuz in the manga they haven't even gotten to a love relationship yet its all just like innocent looking at each other and embarassing situations. Since it is a romance anime i expect it to have romance and not just the SOL parts its mostly had so far. ***********SPOILER END************ ***********SPOILER END************ ***********SPOILER END************ so i wonder if the mangaka is going to go really fast in the manga or go ahead of the manga in the anime guessing that its only going to be around 25 episodes like most anime are. |
yay daisuke namikawa ^^  |

Wow, an adaptation would be amazing! ♥ I like the Manga a lot, it's simply, not pushing too hard but still very fascinating in a calm and quiet way...So looking forward to it ♥ |
Ahhh I'm looking forward to it! The cast sounds good too :D Hope it won't turn out to be an over-hyped production -crosses fingers-  |
I'm looking forward! I like this manga.. And if it is this "Series Organizer: Konbaru Tomoko ("Nodame Cantabile", "NANA")" It gonna be great :P    |
