King Records is stepping back in time a bit to bring out a Blu-ray box set for the 26-episode Mahoraba anime series. It’s planned for a January 24th, 2018 release priced at 27,000 yen and we have a new TV spot for it below. The project is being done as a six-disc set with five Blu-ray’s and a song collection CD. Extras include the clean opening and closings, promotional spots, the hourlong special, and the special ending sequences in clean form.
Directed by Shinichiro Kimura based on the manga by Akira Kojima, it features character designs from Masahiro Fujii and was animated by JC Staff.
The Japanese cast includes Ryoko Shiraishi as Ryuushi Shiratori, Satomi Arai as Chiyuri Midorikawa, Kozue Aoba, Nanako Kanazawa, Natsume Konno, and Saki Akasaka, Kenyuu Horiuchi as Jonny/Yukio Haibara, Masumi Asano as Megumi Momono, Mioko Fujiwara as Sayoko Kurosaki, Umi Tenjin as Asami Kurosaki, and Yui Horie as Tamami Chanohata.
Plot Concept: Shiratori Ryuushi is a young artist-in-training, about to start studying at a vocational school. Arriving at his new lodgings, Narutakisou, he finds himself the focus of attention for the collection of weirdos that inhabit the place. He also meets and falls for the landlady, Aoba Kozue, who seems to be both lovely and charming. However, Kozue is not what she seems to be… in fact, she’s more.
