The official website for the television anime of Kaori Hanzawa's Comic Girls four-panel manga is listing the anime with six Blu-ray Disc and DVD volume releases, and Amazon is listing the anime with a total of 12 episodes. The volumes are slated to release from June to November, with one volume every month.
The anime premiered on Thursday. Crunchyroll is streaming the series as it airs in Japan.
Yoshinobu Tokumoto (WATAMOTE, Chivalry of a Failed Knight episode director) is making his directorial debut at Nexus. Natsuko Takahashi (Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, Yuyushiki, Love and Lies) is in charge of the series scripts, while Touko Machida (Lucky Star, Tears to Tiara, Chaika the Coffin Princess), Michiko Yokote (Patlabor, Shirobako, Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches), and Jukki Hanada (Love Live!, Sound! Euphonium, Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!) are penning the scripts. Keiko Saitō is designing the characters. Kenichiro Suehiro (Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-, Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka) is composing the music, and Jin Aketagawa (Re:CREATORS, Under the Dog) is the sound director.
The manga debuted as a guest series in Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara Max magazine in 2014, and the series' regular serialization began later that year. Houbunsha released the manga's fourth compiled book volume on March 27. The manga was a first-round candidate selected for last year's Manga Taisho awards.
