It was just yesterday that we got the news with the latest volume of Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto would be getting an anime adaptation. With it being scheduled for the spring 2016 season with TBS/BS-TBS as the broadcast partners, we knew there’d be more information coming soon, but not quite so quickly. The lead actor has been revealed with Hikaru Midorikawa coming on board as Sakamoto and the main staff was revealed as well. The series has set Shinji Takamatsu as the director with Atsuko Nakajima on board to adapt the designs. It’ll be animated at Studio DEEN.
The series comes from Nami Sano, their first formal work, which began serialization back in 2011 in the Fellows magazine. The series has four volumes out so far in Japan while Seven Seas Entertainment brought out the first volume of their adaptation out in August 2015.
Plot concept: First year high school student Sakamoto isn’t just cool, he’s the coolest! Almost immediately after starting school, he began attracting everyone’s attention. The girls love him, and most of the boys resent him. There’s even a boy in the class who works as a model, but who is constantly upstaged by Sakamoto! No matter what tricks the other boys try to play on him, Sakamoto always manages to foil them with ease and grace. Though Sakamoto may seem cool and aloof, he helps others when asked, such as in the case of the boy in his class who was being constantly bullied. No matter what difficulties Sakamoto encounters, he moves through his high school life with confidence and class!
