Synopsis
After catching a cold by giving his only umbrella to a girl sitting in the rain, Amane Fujimiya only expects her to eventually return it. However, Mahiru Shiina, the "Angel" of Amane's school and his neighbor, instead gives him a lot more than that. Instead of just the umbrella, she insists on returning the favor by helping him recover from his cold. However, she is oblivious to the battlefield that is Amane's apartment.

The only word Mahiru finds from her mouth to describe the chaos is "unsightly." But despite her unsympathetic description, Mahiru proceeds to help the hopeless Amane. Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken follows Amane as he is taken care of by Mahiru, who attends to various chores—from cleaning his apartment to cooking dinner. Is there anything that the Angel can not do? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Saeki-san began writing the romantic comedy novel—abbreviated as Otonari no Tenshi-sama—on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in December 2018. SB Creative published the first volume under its GA Bunko imprint with illustrations by Hazano Kazutake in June 2019, with Hanekoto replacing him second volume onward. The fifth volume shipped on July 1. The light novel has a cumulative 500,000 copies of its volumes in circulation.

Wan Shibata (Hanako) will begin serializing a manga adaptation with artworks by Suzu Yuuki on the Manga UP! web magazine on Thursday.

Yen Press licensed the light novel in English in July 2020 and released the first volume in December that year. The third volume went on sale on December 7 last year.

Otonari no Tenshi-sama ranked among the top 10 titles in the tankobon division in the 2020 and 2021 editions of the Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! rankings and placed sixth in the 2022 edition.

There are only scenes from Volume 1 in the trailer. Hopefully, they don'tt rush it and mishandled it. The anime adapation needs to be slow-paced as this is a dialogue heavy LN.

I wonder how they animate the face Amane struggling with wasabi (thanks to Chitose)? XD

I want to see Amane's mum, my favourite character in the LN. XD

I like the character design and the trailer! Looking forward for this anime.

If you identify yourself as a proud vanilla-fag, again, A PROUD VANILLA-FAG, I urge you to read this novel, or watch the anime once it releases. If you believe and love a wholesome romance, a wholesome relationship, then read Otonari no Tenshi. I really can't recommend it enough for you, my brothers.

I've finished reading volume 3 of Light Novel, so I need to wait for the continuation on YenPress. And I have to tell you, even though the series hasn't ended yet, the void that often occur when finishing a dang good series is already here for me. I don't know, maybe I longed for such wholesome relationship myself?

I don't want to hype myself too much for anime adaptation because of the studio's portfolio so far. But still, I truly love this series.

Goodness gracious, the first volume of this LN was hands-down the most excruciating, least enjoyable reading experience I've had in any language. Although I bought the first two volumes beforehand, I'm not sure I should trust everybody's positivity in this thread and give the second volume a shot considering the number of my own teeth I had to pull getting through volume one

doesn't Mahouka come under fantasy? The guy is a walking nuke who invents personal flying machines. They chalk it up to pseudo science.

Mahouka had Magic genre before https://web.archive.org/web/20210913165154/https://myanimelist.net/anime/20785/Mahouka_Koukou_no_Rettousei

Fantasy is something more medieval https://myanimelist.net/anime/genre/info

Fantasy - Anime that are set in a mythical world quite different from modern-day Earth. Frequently this world has magic and/or mythical creatures such as dragons and unicorns. These stories are sometimes based on real world legends and myths. Frequently fantasies describe tales featuring magic, brave knights, damsels in distress, and/or quests.

Interesting. Nice to have a non-fantasy nor Isekai heard from Syosetu, even rarer adapted.

that guy who leaked this on weibo, isn't he leaked solo leveling too ?.

Yes he did.

I can see why people are so hyped for this diabetes/insulin adaptation, but considering that it's Project No. 9, I'm holding off my thoughts for this. Should I consume the LN (or the manga when it comes out eventually)?

Jan 4, 2022 8:44 PM by KANLen09

Diabetes finally getting an adaptation.
Insulin recommended

Still can't believe this boring wholesome romcom get adaptation anime before Chiramune (twice won #1 Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi and selling 300,000 copies) and Spy Room (won #2 Kono LN and selling 500,000 copies) and both still doesn't have any news about anime ;-;

Give it some time they are bound to happen bro
Any award winning light novels are bound get adapted now days

Yap specialy since we know how most studios are booked already for like 3-4years just takes a while for everythin to get their turn specialy since some good shows getting sequels etc

Jan 4, 2022 11:51 AM by KurumiNightmare

The girl is cute but hopefully the show is also good

Jan 4, 2022 11:13 AM by RedChrome

You know a romance anime is a failure if it only focus on one character, the trailer and illustrations only focus on the female lead but not the male lead, didn't even showed his face for a second

Jan 4, 2022 11:05 AM by Sayali567

ahhhh yes, the fluff romance that the MC was pretty much a hentai protagonist except it's set in highschool and he doesnt have mindbreak powers nor a big dick that everyone gets horny for....

I mean, from what I've seen, ppl liked Tonikaku Kawaii so hey, I guess this is a good news to ppl....

I have question for LN readers is there harem or love triangle in LN?

As of the third English volume, no harem or love triangle whatsoever, and from what I've heard about the WN (which is a lot further into the story than the LN), no harem then either. Only wholesomeness and fluff!

Thank you very much. I'm glad It's safe to watch.

LETSSS GOOOOOO
I heard good things about this LN so I am excited about the Anime 😍
