Shoujo manga '12-sai' is getting a TV anime adaptation

Plot Summary:

Quote:

The story begins with Hanahi, a sixth-grade girl who is neither an adult nor a child. She deals with issues such as accidentally witnessing her homeroom teacher kissing, and worrying about experiencing physiological changes before her friends. The manga depicts a 12-year-old girl's innocent worries and first love.

Oh ho? Hmm ... always up for a good shoujo - although to be honest I do not remember if I have read this one or no. There are a couple out there with numbers before the "sai" phrase in their names and I get them mixed up.

But if this is the one I think it is ... hasn't it already received an OVA?

HasuMasu · 2016-01-26, 13:49

Finally! I've been waiting for this. The OVA wasn't nearly enough. I'm excited.

Well it's not 17-sai, that's for sure. (I stumbled upon that while trying to read 14-sai no Koi, and it's the most horrific manga ever written.)

Horrific as in badly written or horrific as in the events that take place?

Anyway this looks like it could be a cute coming of age story.

I don't find 14-sai to be horrible by any means, though one of the characters (a teacher) is pretty horrible.

The author seems to like this kind of pairings with older girl young boy. At least I've read a short story of hers about the same topic (ten year age gap)

We're getting into spoilage of another series here, but...

Spoiler for 14-sai no Koi:

17-sai is based upon one of the most horrific murder cases in Japanese history.

OK, I just wanted to make sure. I read the synapses so I saw the content does in fact look horrific. I don't mind reading a story where really bad stuff happens. But if the writing had also been atrocious I don't think I'd want to read through that.

Now that's a method of introducing the pv I was not expecting.

Kinda like it (the method I mean).

Am looking forward to this one.

Seems they used a little footage from the OVA for the series pv too, though. Hmm....

HasuMasu · 2016-03-29, 02:03

This is my kind of shoujo.

Now I want them to splice 17-sai's story with 12-sai's art style.

BWTraveller · 2016-04-04, 10:25

Just skimmed through the first episode and it looks like a recap of the OVA that came out a while ago. Maybe this'll convince someone to do a decent translation. But I rather look forward to this; there's something really sweet and charming about the life and love of someone who's still pretty much innocent, someone who may be starting to develop sexual feelings but for whom they're still small and simple enough that they still dream of a prince on a white horse instead of an athlete in a swimsuit.
