Originally in theaters in Japan back in April 2014, Sentai Filmworks has announced the acquisition of the Tamako Love Story anime feature film. The follow-up from the TV series Tamako Market was produced by Kyoto Animation. With the way Sentai tends to announce acquisitions not long before release, we’ll expect to see this late summer 2017.
The main team came back with all the voice actors returned for the feature with Naoka Yamada taking up the directorial duties again with a script by Reiko Yoshida. Character designs will once again be handled by Yukiko Horiguchi.
Plot concept: Tamako knows everything about mochi, the traditional Japanese dessert treats. When she’s not attending her first year of high school, she works at Tama-ya, her family’s mochi shop. However, friendships, rivalries, and strange new feelings are beginning to make her life a sticky, complicated mess! There’s guaranteed to be a sweet treat with every adventure when you take a walk through TAMAKO MARKET!
