The upcoming comedy slice-of-life anime A Mangaka’s Weirdly Wonderful Workplace got an upbeat looking key visual today featuring all of the anime’s adorably cute girls, and with protagonist Nana Futami (voiced by Yuuko Natsuyoshi – Sasha in The Misfit of Demon King Academy) showcased front and center.
Along with the second A Mangaka’s Weirdly Wonderful Workplace key visual, the anime was also confirmed as premiering its first episode on October 6th in Japan.
The announcement came on its official X account, with the comment “A workplace full of smiles”.
The anime’s second key visual follows on from last month’s announcement of additional voice cast members, and its theme songs and main cast members the month before.
A Mangaka’s Weirdly Wonderful Workplace production details
The comedy anime’s stellar staff also hints at a very high quality series, as it features Kaoru Suzuki (My Roommate is a Cat) as director, Mio Inoue (Slow Start) in charge of series composition, and Kana Miyai (The Apothecary Diaries) designing those wonderfully cute characters.
Pony Canyon, who did such a superb job with The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei) is also animating the series.
A Mangaka’s Weirdly Wonderful Workplace is based on the manga series written and illustrated by Kuzushiro.
The manga is published by Kodansha, with 12 volumes out in Japanese so far (none in English), and Volume 13 due out in a couple of weeks.
The manga’s first volume describes its plot like this:
Nana Futami, a new shoujo manga artist, is supported by her older female editor, Kaede Sato, and her assistant, Mizuki Hazama.
While occasionally suffering from what she calls an occupational hazard, she continues to work every today!
Will she eventually be able to get through the stress created by working and crazy deadlines, smile and become a successful mangaka.
No word yet on where the anime will stream internationally, but it will likely appear on Crunchyroll.
