posted on by Karen Ressler
Sentai Filmworks announced on Tuesday that it has licensed the anime adaptation of Ruri Miyahara's four-panel Love Lab manga series with plans to release the anime on home video.
The comedy manga revolves around the girls at the elite Fujisaki Girls' Middle School, which has tsundere (initially aloof and abrasive, but later kind-hearted), meganekko (eyeglasses-wearing girl), and other kinds of students. The cast includes Manami Numakura as Rico Kurahashi, Chinatsu Akasaki as Natsuo Maki, Inori Minase as Suzune "Suzu" Tanahashi, Ayane Sakura as Yuiko "Eno" Enomoto, and Yō Taichi as Sayori "Sayo" Mizushima.
Masahiko Ohta (YuruYuri, Mitsudomoe) directed at the studio Doga Kobo (YuruYuri, GJ Club). Takashi Aoshima (YuruYuri, Mitsudomoe) was in charge of the series scripts, and Chiaki Nakajima (YuruYuri,) designed the characters. The five main cast members performed the opening and ending songs for the series.
The 13-episode anime premiered in Japan last summer and Crunchyroll began a simulcast starting with episode 9.
