One series I enjoyed a lot of quite some time ago was Baby & Me which came from creator Marimo Ragawa. While that’s been long done and over with, they’ve got another work out there with Mashiro no Oto and it was revealed yesterday that it’s been lined up for a TV anime adaptation. Set for an April 2021 debut, the official site and social media have launched and that means a new key visual to the right and a promo below. It was revealed that Hiroaki Akagi will direct it based on the scripts coming from Yoichi Kato. Jiro Mshima is adapting the character designs with Shinei Animation handling the production.
The only cast revealed so far is Nobunaga Shimazaki as Setsu Sawamura from the visual.
The manga began in 2009 in Monthly Shonen Magazine and has twenty-five volumes released so far through Kodansha Japan. We may see this one get fast-tracked digitally by Kodansha Comics USA. Check out the promo produced for the manga during its 10-year anniversary last year below to get an idea of the designs.
Check out the official site and Twitter.
Plot Concept: The story follows a girl as she comes across a boy on the street with an unusual instrument case. This chance encounter between an idol singer hopeful and a player of the traditional Japanese three-stringed shamisen leads both on a journey to discovering their figurative and literal voices.
