Hanabee Entertainment has picked up a new release to bring out for the Australian market with a quick push with the acquisition of The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors & Hostel Behavior. The 2012 series is one that saw a North American release from Sentai Filmworks as a DVD-only release initially and then received a Blu-ray release last fall. The Australian release will be offering both formats right out of the gate with them planned for a March 16th, 2017 debut priced at $49.99 each. It’ll be a monolingual release like the North American releases and will include the clean opening and closings as extras.
Check out our review of the series.
Plot concept: Living away from home can have its perks, especially when you’re just a kid: no parents, no rules, no curfew! Add the fact that you just – miraculously – moved in right next to the girl of your dreams and it sounds too good to be true. Naturally, things that sound too good to be true usually are. Kazunari Usa’s independence arrives by way of his parents’ new job placement. However, with this newfound freedom come the shackles of responsibility, and his hopes and dreams are soon dashed when confronted with the indecent behavior of his lecherous neighbor, Shirosaki. Usa promised he wouldn’t complain if he could just live on his own… he just didn’t expect so much drama. Not only do Usa and his dream-girl Ritsu attend the same school, but Ritsu’s grandaunt, the landlady Sumiko, tries to give Usa weird relationship advice regarding the two. To top it all off, everything is upended when Usa meets Mayumi, an older, flirty woman that he runs into on the street. Will Usa’s fantasy of a normal life ever become a reality?
