With a number of shorter works like Ristorante Paradiso and House of Five Leaves that saw anime adaptations, the announcement of a new anime adaptation of one of her works is definitely going to garner some attention. Her most recent work is the 2013 manga series ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka and that’s now revealing an adaptation with the release of the fifth volume later this week. No details were released with it but an official site has gone live with a key visual.
Plot concept: The kingdom of Dowa, which is subdivided into 13 states, is celebrating its monarch’s 99th birthday. These thirteen states have many agencies that are controlled by the giant organization known as ACCA. Within ACCA, Jean Otis is the second-in-command of the inspection agency. His agency has 10 people placed in each of the 13 states, with a central office in the capital city. They keep track of all the activities of ACCA across the kingdom, and keep data on each state’s ACCA office flowing towards the central office. Jean also often has business trips from the capital to the other districts, to check on the situation and personnel there. (Source: MangaHelpers)
