One of the things that you can often track with a lot of manga that end up getting anime adaptations it atht the manga gets teased for a big announcement. While not guaranteed, it’s usually a precursor of some kind of adaptation. That label is now being applied to the manga series Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms where it’s set for some important news with the May 15th, 2024 installment of Weekly Shonen Magazine that’s marked as 24/2024. The manga that week is also getting a color page which ups its importance a bit.

Kuze’s first published work was in 2011 with Tenjin – World War Angle and they’ve had half a dozen other titles since then.

Plot Concept: Kuroiwa Medaka was born in a temple and is currently a monk in training. Because of his temple’s rules, he can’t interact with girls – and what’s more, he doesn’t even know how to regularly socialize with them. Mona, the “queen bee” of the school, however insistently tries to make him fall in love with her, but he always ignores her in order to maintain the rules of his temple.
