Summer Anime Manga Original 10

AI's Legacy Electronic Broadcast Schedule: July 7, 2023 -.

This is the story of our future - The overwhelming progress of AI that began in the 21st century has contributed to the development of society, but has also confronted humanity with the pros and cons of using highly intelligent machines as tools. Then, in the latter half of the 22nd century. People have accepted "humanoids" with human rights as a matter of course and live together with them as a separate entity from "industrial AI. Hikaru Sudo, as a new medical doctor who cures humanoids, faces "new diseases" brought about by the coexistence of humans and AIs. At times, he even uses his back face. ......

Editor's Recommendation: The original author, Yamada Huuri, has an unusual background as an IT writer turned manga artist. This work makes use of such a backbone to explore how AI permeates human society and how our lives will change. What will remain unchanged? This is a thought experiment. This is a science fiction drama that can only be depicted in today's chaotic world!

Ayakashi Triangle Broadcast Schedule: July 10, 2023 -

A ninja exorcist, Kazamaki Matsuri, whose job is to exorcise harmful spirits, has been protecting his childhood friend Hananade Suzu, who is easily liked by spirits. But when a demon named Shirogane, who looks like a cat but reigns at the top of the demon world, catches Suzu's eye...?

Editor's Recommendation: This work, which began broadcasting in the winter season of 2023 but was suspended due to the spread of the new coronavirus, is now back on the air with full force! Although Kentaro Yabuki's works are often talked about for their sexy elements, he is actually good at depicting action in the manner of royal shonen manga! In addition to the love romance, sex change, sexy scenes, and other pink elements, the ninja action and battle scenes are also very powerful. This time, you will be able to enjoy it until the very end! If you have never seen this movie, why don't you take this opportunity to enjoy it?

The story of a small senior in my companyBroadcast schedule:From July 1, 2023

Takuma Shinozaki is in his first year at a character company. He is still not used to his new job. Even so, there is an "extraordinary healing" by his side. That is Shiori Katase, a "small and cute" senior who has been with the company for three years. Shiori is very considerate of her juniors, and is always looking out for Shinozaki in any way she can...

Editor's recommendation: The small senior characters are often seen as little sisters or pet animals, but the senpai in this work breaks new ground as a cute wife-type character. Small, cute, and reliable as a partner, Shiori is also motherly, and is sure to become one of the most popular characters this season.

Ooku Distribution Schedule: June 29, 2023~.

As a result of a mysterious plague that has caused a rapid decline in the male population, the basis of social management and power has completely shifted to women in Edo. Tokugawa Shogun Yoshimune, the 8th Shogun of the Tokugawa dynasty, wonders about a world in which women take on male names while still holding the reigns of their families. He reads the "Mibi Nichiroku," a record of the inner chambers, and begins to unravel history going back to the time of Tokugawa Shogun Iemitsu, the 3rd Shogun of the Tokugawa dynasty.

Editor's Recommendation: Although it may not seem so with its setting in the Edo period, this work is truly a work of science fiction that depicts an IF of history. What kind of society would be formed in a world where the sexes are reversed? How would the mentality of the people living there be shaped? While the science fiction-like investigation of such questions is depicted based on historical facts, the tragedy and comedy of the gender difference that exists in the world is also spun out. We look forward to a drama that can only be produced on NETFLIX, which has fewer restrictions than terrestrial broadcasting.

White Saint and Black Priest Broadcast Schedule: July 12, 2023-.

A church. There lived a lovely but prone to being full of trouble, and an earnest, overprotective, and good cook, the pastor. In the midst of their peaceful days, the saint secretly in love with the insensitive pastor unfolds an "unaware love comedy. Where will their frustrating relationship lead them?

Editor's Recommendation: The saintly lady is neat and dignified in front of people, but goes into full-blown lazy mode in places where only the pastor is around. The gap between the two is cute, and I look forward to seeing how the heartwarming and lovey-dovey relationship with the pastor, who is a bit dull and doesn't realize why he shows his true face only in front of her, will be portrayed.

Zombie 100 - 100 things I want to do before I become a zombie - Broadcast Schedule: July 9, 2023-.

Akira Tendou, 24 years old, is worn out both physically and emotionally in his third year at a black company. He is unable to fall in love with Hou-san, the accountant of his dreams, and is repeating his hopeless daily routine... One day, suddenly, a zombie pandemic breaks out in the city! Chased by a mass of zombies, Akira, in the midst of his desperation, is inspired to say the words that will change his life...

Editor's Recommendation: Just when you thought we'd had enough of the zombie stuff...here it is...! This is a super change of pace. The irony is that the main character, who had been working at a black company like a zombie until then, now that the world is full of zombies and he doesn't know when he will die, he rather gains freedom and can enjoy to the fullest what he could not do before. ...... But what an exhilarating feeling! This is a film to watch with a beer in one hand and an empty head in the other.

Dark Gathering Broadcast Schedule: July 9, 2023 -

Gentoga Keitaro, a psychic with a mediumistic constitution, once suffered a psychic attack that involved a friend and has since become a recluse. When he begins tutoring to reintegrate into society, he meets a girl with mysterious eyes, Yayoi Houzuki. Yayoi's mother has been taken away by an evil spirit, and she is searching for clues by visiting haunted places.

Editor's Recommendation: Recently, ghost-related channels on TV programs and YouTube have been gaining momentum, and this film should be quite appealing to those who like such content. The suspense element is also included in this film, and the thrilling and chilling elements are perfect for the coming season.

Tempuru Broadcast Schedule: July 8, 2023~!

Yes, let's get ordained! Akagami Akimitsu, who has spent his days studying and working part-time to avoid the Akagami family, which is known for being a family of womanizers, falls in love at first sight with a girl he meets by chance one day named Aoba Yuzuki. Akamitsu, who has since been completely swallowed by the waves of his own vexations, enters a temple in order to resist his own blood and live a stoic life, but to his surprise, he finds a nun temple full of beautiful girls! This is the start of a youthful temple love comedy with three cute sisters and a beautiful resident girl!

Editor's Recommendation: By chance, the young protagonist, ......, who is troubled by his troubles, is assigned to train at a nun temple. This romantic comedy work is recommended for its immorality, though it may seem a bit punitive! If you like slapstick romantic comedies and beautiful girls, this is a must-see!

Peasant Aristocrats Broadcast Schedule: July 7, 2023

Hiroshi Arakawa worked on his family's dairy farm in Hokkaido for seven years before becoming a manga artist. He worked 24/7, raising cows, growing vegetables, being scared of bears, and being at the mercy of Ezo chipmunks in his hard daily life. ...... While capturing the painful reality of dairy farming and agriculture in Japan, the film shows the cool lifestyle of adults (and sometimes children) who work hard, with lots of laughter and power!

Editor's Recommendation: This work is an essay manga by Hiroshi Arakawa of "Fullmetal Alchemist" and "Arslan Senki" fame, and it has attracted a lot of attention. Arakawa has always been known for her funny comedy scenes inserted in between serious dramas, and this work fully demonstrates her talent for such scenes. It will be interesting to see how her fast-paced dialogue exchanges and down-to-earth depiction of agriculture will be reflected in the anime!

Rurouni Kenshin -Meiji Swordsman Romantic Tan- Broadcast Schedule: July 6, 2023-.

During the turmoil at the end of the Edo period, there was a samurai who was feared as "Battousai the Manslayer". With the advent of the new era, he disappeared from the public eye and became a legend in the name of "the strongest. Time passed - the 11th year of Meiji in downtown Tokyo. Himura Kenshin, a traveling swordsman with a reverse-blade sword at his waist and a vow to never kill, meets Kamiya Kaoru, master of the Kamiya Kasshin school.

Editor's Recommendation: In the late 1990s, this work gained great popularity as the signature manga of Weekly Shonen Jump. A TV anime adaptation was made during the serialization, but Nobuhiro Watsuki, the original author, has been complaining about the visualization of the early part of the story since that time, and it will be very interesting to see how far the purity can be raised this time. It will be very interesting to see.
