Ichijōma Mankitsu Gurashi! anime details

Unfortunately, no cast or staff members for the anime have been revealed yet. An X (formerly Twitter) account has been created for the series, which posted some illustrations from the manga, as well as a congratulatory message from the author.

The four-panel manga began publishing back in 2018. It is slightly echhi in nature, and follows Meiko Morita, a girl from the countryside who moves to Tokyo to attend an elite all-girls’ high school. To get free tuition, she starts doing volunteer work at a manga cafe called Hedgehog, which also doubles as a girls’ dormitory. She meets eccentric characters such as Rie Amamiya, Marika Suzuki, and Neo Nakano, who completely change Meiko’s life.
