A new anime adaptation was revealed as in the works back in August with the release of the second volume of Hinako Note. The series comes from creator Mitsuki as part of the Comic Cune magazine where the four-panel slice of life series began back in August 2014 and looks to be doing yearly collected releases.
The Monthly Comic Cune site has now updated to reveal more of what’s going on with this series with the staffing revealed. The project has set Takeo Takahashi as the chief director working with Toru Kitahata as the hands-on director. They’re working off of Tatsuhiko Urahata’s scripts and character designs by Kazuyuki Ueda, who is also serving as the chief animation director. The series is being produced by studion Passione.
Plot concept: Hinako is a shy little girl whom animals are instinctively drawn to. Because of this, Hinako works as a scarecrow to keep said animals away from the crops in her neighbor’s fields. Thus the tale of the scarecrow girl begins!
