Add another release coming in 2016 from MVM Entertainment that should go over well as the company has announced that they’ve picked up the rights to Sakura Trick. They’ll be bringing out a little yuri-themed material sometime in 2016, though no date or formats were provided with it. The series has seen release in North America from Sentai Filmworks, though it was DVD-only due to licensor request with a Blu-ray planned for the future.
Check out our full season review here!
The series, created by Tachi, has been running since 2011 and has had five graphic novel compilation releases so far, with the second one landing just a few months ago. The winter 2014 series is set to be animated by Studio Deen with Kenichi Ishikura directing with character designs by Kyuta Sakai.
Plot concept: Haruka and Yuu have been best friends forever and they’ve always sat next to each other in class since… well, since they were just girls in junior high anyway. But on their first day of high school, they’re stunned to learn that the new seating plan has them on opposite sides of the classroom! So, since everyone knows that long distance relationships won’t work unless the parties involved put extra effort into it, they decide they need to do something extra special to permanently seal their friendship. However, deciding to kiss each other awakens a whole new level of feelings, and it doesn’t help that some of their classmates seem to be ‘involved” in similar circumstances. So what’s a girl to do when her best girl friend suddenly seems more like a girlfriend? It’s a life lesson that the school curriculum isn’t normally prepared to teach, except maybe in French class, and our two young heroines are about to get a private education you’ll never forget! Discover the truth about the birds and the… er… birds, as two young ladies learn to deal with the pros and cons of intramural osculation in SAKURA TRICK!
