Manga Entertainment UK has made a new pickup this weekend with the series Good Luck Girl, aka Bingogami-ga!. The show does not have a formal date yet but it will be coming out on Blu-ray only in the future and it will contain the English and Japanese language tracks with English subtitles. FUNimation released the series in DVD/BD combo form back in November 2013.
Plot concept: Ichiko gets lucky a lot. She’s rich, beautiful, smart, stacked, and better than you at everything. But there’s a reason life always goes her way: she unwittingly steals happiness energy from everyone else! Momiji – a poverty god with a freakishly huge syringe and a bunch of oddball charms – has to take Ichiko’s extra good fortune and return it to her various victims of circumstance.
Like an Adderall-raddled cat-and-mouse chase in a funhouse full of pop culture references, the spirit of shortcomings and her self-absorbed subject stick each other with jabs, gags, bizarre bets, and dirty tricks aplenty. It’s a side-splitting ride, and everyone’s seatbelt is defective. But how many blows to the ego can Ichiko take before she grows a sympathy gland and stops hogging all the happiness?
