The ecchi manga Ichijyoma Mankitsu Gurashi (One-Tatami Manga Café Life), written and illustrated by Hisama Kumako, is officially getting a TV anime adaptation. The announcement was made in the August issue of Manga Time Kirara, released on July 9.
The series follows Meiko Morita, a high school student who relocates from the countryside to Tokyo to enroll in an elite all-girls school. Due to financial constraints, she accepts a condition allowing her to live and work at a manga café called Hedgehog, which also serves as a girls’ dormitory.
Three volumes of Ichijyoma Mankitsu Gurashi are currently in print, with Volume 4 set to release on July 26. An illustration and comment from the author were also revealed:
