We just got the word yesterday from the latest Weekly Shonen Jump Sunday that an anime adaptation of a manga series Keijo!!!!!!!! was in the works. Now that the marketing machine is getting into gear, the first visual from the series in anime form has been released as well with two of the lead characters.
The work comes from creator Daichi Sorayomi which began back in 2013 and has ten volumes out as of this month. No details of the adaptation were revealed such as production, cast, or scheduling. The work is Sorayomi’s second after the three volume series Momi-Baraishi ran in Club Sunday for three volumes between 2011 and 2012.
Plot concept: Kaminashi Nozomi (17) is an exceptional gymnast. So much so that colleges with some of the best gymnastic programs are trying to recruit her. Unfortunately for them, she has other plans. Due to her family being extremely poor, money is everything to her. That’s why she wants to step into the world of “Keijo.” “Keijo” is a type of gambling sport where girls stand on a small floating platform and compete against one another. The aim is to push the other contestant off of the platform into the water, but they are only allowed to use their butt or breasts to push the others off. Will Nozomi be able to compete in the intense world of “Keijo” and bring wealth and fortune for her family?
