Dream Creation has announced their next project that will be coming up with Miss Bernard said back in June and now a site refresh has landed that’s updated on the project. The series is now scheduled for an October 2016 debut with Hisayoshi Hirasawa directing it at Creators int he Pack based on the scenario from Yoshikazu Maeda. Gonta is on board to work on the character designs. The cast includes Eri Kitamura as Sawako “Miss Bernard” Machida, Mikako Komatsu as Shiori Kanbayashi, Mitsuhiro Ichiki as Endō and Aya Suzaki as Sumika Hasegawa.
Known as Bernard-jo Iwaku in its original manga form, the series comes from Yuki Shikawa as serialized in Monthly Comic Rex where it has two volumes out since it began in 2011.
The anime adaptation from Dream Creation means we should get something solid as they’ve largely mastered the short-form format with recent works that include I Can’t Understand What My Husband is Saying as well as Ojisan to Marshmallow.
Plot concept: The series is about the love of famous works of literature. It follows Sawako “Miss Bernard” Machida, a lazy girl who wants to be a well-read person — but does not actually read much. The manga recounts the conversations between “Miss Bernard” and her bookworm friends about the Bible, The Tale of the Heike, Guns, Germs, and Steel, The Door into Summer, The Great Passage, Fermat’s Last Theorem, and more masterpieces that she has not necessarily read.
