We learned this summer that an anime adaptation is coming for a manga series Piace: Watashi no Italian, which is localized as Piace! My Italian Cooking. The official site has now updated with the second promotional video for it, coming in at just under a minute, and confirming a January 11th, 2017 premiere for it. The new anime adaptation is likely to be a short as it’s coming from Earth Star Entertainment.
The cast includes Sayaka Senbongi as Morina Nanase, Yūki Yonai as Mallow Kitahara, Yōhei Azakami as Kirihide Konno, Yōko Hikasa as Ruri Fujiki, Taku Yashiro as Ei Oreki and Hiromi Igarashi as Sara Teiri.
The adaptation will be directed by Hiroaki Sakurai with character designs by Atsuko Watanabe. Zero-G is handling the animation, who is doing the main work on the Battery adaptation.
The original work comes from Atsuko Watanabe with four volumes in print so far. With a look towards food and cute girls, it’s easy to imagine this one will go over well – and as we said at the time, it was likely to see an anime adaptation as well considering the current climate for these types of properties.
Check out the first volume here!
Plot concept: High schooler Morina Nanase starts work at Trattoria Festa, an Italian restaurant filled with various and sundry quirky characters…and where through its unique cuisine, she will begin to mature as a person.
