Originally kciking off in Shonen Sunday around this time last year, the manga series Tokiwa Kitareri!! is now being slotted for an upcoming anime TV spot from JC Staff to promote the manga. The series comes from creator Shun Matsuena and it’s been hustling along since it began with four volumes out so far as of last month. while a series that’s only a year old may feel a little risky to advance towards an anime project, doing a proof of concept TV spot for an upcoming manga volume release is a pretty good way to do it. We’ve had a few of these happen before and it could potend an OAD route as well to try and garner more support to see if it increases sales enough to get people to check it out.
No details about who is handling it at JC Staff were revealed. Matsuena’s no stranger to his work being animated though as his previous work, which ended last year, was Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple, which ran for 61 volumes.
Plot concept: Yasaka Tokiwa lives in an unusual time, and according to his dreams, it’s about to become even stranger. He’s been having a dream of a woman called Ri’in ever since the robot, who he calls Makina, came to his home. He and Makina attend the same school, where their other classmates include the secret ninja Kusanagi Kanata and the sorcerer Yata Haruka. When Tokiwa, the robot, the ninja, and the sorcerer rush to rescue the student council president from a demon, the boys find that they’ve all been having the same dream! What is going to happen to their world?
