Get ready for a little more cat material in your future, potentially, as the four-panel manga series Neko mo, Onda-ke has gotten the nod for an anime adaptation. In production for some time, it’s set to debut on April 1st as part of the afternoon variety program Tsunagaru Wide Honan, which means chances of it getting a simulcast are pretty slim. A lot of variety shows are bringing in anime shorts to attract more viewers so this isn’t a surprise since cat based material goes over well and Radio Wada’s manga is fairly popular.
The series has Yoshinobu Sena serving as the director and writer while also taking a role in it as well.
