Nanairo Kakumei Short Anime's 2nd Episode Streamed
posted on by Kyle Hallmark
The official YouTube channel for Shueisha's Ribon shōjo magazine began streaming the second episode on Monday for the anime adaptation of Mizuka Yuzuhara's Nanairo Kakumei (Seven-Colored Revolution) manga.
In the short, Shioka notices that Nana is copying Yuyu's hairstyle. Yuyu then asks Nana to switch seats with her, even though it means Nana will be on the end and away from her friends. Yuyu then tells everyone that "Nana said she likes the end" to Nana's frustration. Later, Yuyu submits an application to the tennis club on Nana's behalf, saying that Nana will do anything that Yuyu likes. Nana breaks down in front of Shioka, crying that she has to do things she doesn't like in order to not be disliked herself. After Shioka replies that it's her own decision, Nana arrives in class the next day with a shorter hairstyle, announcing that she won't listen to any more requests from Yuyu.
The YouTube channel is streaming each episode before it airs on TV.
The three-episode anime is airing on October 6, 13, and 20, as segments within the children's television program Oha-Suta ("Good Morning Studio") on TV Tokyo. The cast consists of Reina Ueda as Nana, Shizuka Ishigami as Yuyu, and Daiki Yamashita as Shioka.
The "real friendship story" centers around Nana, who constantly finds herself unable to refuse the wishes of her childhood friend Yuyu—such as styling her hair the same or carrying the same accessories—even if she hates it. She decides she wants to change her attitude and won't follow everything Yuyu says anymore.
Yuzuhara launched the manga in Ribon in August 2014. Shueisha published the manga's third compiled book volume on September 25.
