While no details are available regarding the production, it’s been revealed that the manga series Hatsukoi Monster will be receiving an anime adaptation in the future. The original series was created by Akira Hiyoshimaru in ARIA and it began its run back in the summer of 2013 with four volumes released so far. The property received a drama CD with its most ercent volume back in February, where it used some well-known actors in the main roles, which could have been a test run to see how well it had done.
Drama CD casts aren’t always brought back for anime runs for a variety of reasons, but the cast for this drama CD included Takahiro Sakurai, Yui Horie, Showtaro Morikubo, Tomokazu Sugita, Ayumu Murase, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Kaito Ishikawa, and Hikaru Midorikawa. Which means it’s one we’d love to see and hear in action.
Plot concept: Nikaido Kaho is a daughter of a rich family and her whole life everyone’s been nice to her. When moving to her new high school dormitory, she almost gets hit by a truck but is saved by a boy. It’s love at first sight for Kaho but when asking him his name, he tells her she’s weird. Kaho is shocked since it’s the first time anyone’s ever said mean things to her. Soon enough, she finds out that the boy who saved her lives in the same dormitory and so she bravely confesses her love. The boy says his name is Kanade and agrees to go out with her. Unfortunately, the following day Kaho finds out that her first boyfriend is a 5th grader.
