Adaptations of NisiOisiN’s works have been a staple for the last few years as they generate quite the following. Now it looks like another of his projects is about to make the leap to anime with Zaregoto, a light novel series that ran for nine volumes with its first series from 2002 to 2005 and then a second series that ran from 2004 to 2010. The original series saw a pickup by Del Rey Manga who produced two volumes of it before stopping, as the project really was ahead of its time compared to where the light novel interest is these days.
Not surprisingly, there are no staff or casting announcements at the moment but we’ll take safe odds on Shaft being involved.
Plot concept: The story revolves around the protagonist “I” and the murders and mysteries he encounters. He tries in vain to stay out of the story, but instead he always gets dragged into the center of everything. Even though it seems that he contributes a lot, he always finds out that whatever he did was meaningless in the end.
