The news comes as the fifth volume of the series arrived recently in Japan. That property has been running since 2013 in Weekly Young Jump.
More production details are expected to arrive in upcoming issues of the magazine, though it’s a safe guess that it’s going to be a short form show.
Plot concept: The sibling gag comedy manga centers around Umaru, Taihei’s little sister who boasts beautiful looks as well as prowess in both school and sports; however, “Himouto” (beautiful little sister) has a certain secret.
