| what is wit studio doin with this series lmao On the other hand, i didnt rly think the comedy was that great, coming from the first 2 volumes. Well at least i wont need to buy more volumes to see if it gets better. animation should make the scenes more lively or so (especially given the pv) |

| @Boazanian Is this manga yuri? The author, judging by their portfolio, is a typical moe illustrator who received more tame serialization (common for moe illustrators, but I don't want to speculate), but some resources indicate this as yuri. Anyway, at this point it looks like a characteristic CGDCT sitcom comedy show. |
 |
| I honestly can't remember anything about this, other than that I found the few chapters I read of it incredibly bizarre. Might consider checking it out again in anime form, though. Wouldn't be the first manga I've read where the anime makes it a lot easier for me to get into. |

Pretty much this. Recently WIT studio have been doing some pretty lame stuff and make bizarre decisions.

| @IzayoiSk Things can still change, lol. I remember how everyone accused PAWORKS of adapting a bishoujo gacha game when they first announced Uma Musume. In the end, it turned out that they rebooted the game plot and it gave us pretty impressive sports story. |

Potentially could have changed in later volumes but it didnt look like it would from what i read up to |
| no matter how many anime i've watched... theres always that one show that got me saying LOL we don't get very many gag-humor anime anymore, so shows like this are always nostalgic |

| The trailer editing is really good. Not sure what WIT is cooking, but I'm sure it'll be great, even if it's for a show like this... lol. |

| @Boazanian So, in the volumes that you read, the fact that the author was previously associated with yuri and moe was not particularly noticeable? |

Maybe a little, but the cutesy design was more apparent, probably bcuz the author drew vtubers and fanart and whatever Oh but i would say the author made use of moe gap for the characters |

| @Boazanian Well, I haven't follow him much, but from the resources available, he had an active career as a yuri illustrator, including, predictably, a couple of stories for yuri anthologies. And a short CGDCT manga that didn't have any tags. I apologize if I'm digging too deep, I have a habit of studying all the details of adaptations that interest me. |

Not to mention that its basically all-female cast. tho we still gotta remember that it focuses more on the comedy aspect so more intimate relationships might not get explored until much later, if at all |

| @Boazanian As I understand it, one way or another this is a case when it “needs to be kept in mind,” taking into account the objective tastes of the author. So that later I would not be disappointed, convincing myself that it will definitely be yuri / will not be yuri. But in any case, thanks for the dialogue, I’ll know approximately what to expect. |

| Cute anime but wait wit? |

Even if Wit Studio is doing adaptations of stuff like this, remember they're still doing the next season of Ascendance of a Bookworm (the light novel is supposed to be one of the GOATs) as well as the One Piece remake (manga is also one of the GOATs) too.
| @wildhood All of this sounds new to me. Why would One Piece need a remake? Also, hasn't Ascendance of a Bookworm ended with season 3? |
