Wow, a few great days in a row. How lucky am I? First, I find out that Fantagraphics has licensed one of my favorite manga titles and are bringing it over to the US this year, and now I found out that in the latest chapter of the manga, they've announced an upcoming anime adaptation!
We're waiting on details such as staff and cast, but I'm expecting great things of this. C'mon, I'm pulling for A-1 Pictures to animate this, just on a whim.
While we're waiting for more news, be sure to check out Deb Aoki's interview with Gary Groth of Fantagraphics, where he sheds a bit more light on the intricate process of picking and choosing manga titles for their line.
