Synopsis:

Originally Posted by Baka-Tsuki

Sumika is madly in love with Ushio, and has been for some time; but Ushio only shows any interest in cutesy girls. Sumika, a card-carrying badass TDB who help run her family's dojo, does not fit this bill even a little. Cue angst, as she is forced to watch from the sidelines as Ushio falls for girl after girl, none of them her. However, it seems that things may take a turn for the better...

[Shiroth]

Loving the official site. Good to see they've kept the same concept from the manga volumes.

I'm glad to see they don't look any different. Now to see how Sumika looks in karate gear.

[Von Himmel]

Awesome !
I thought it was a rumour at first, but then it is true after all. Though it's a yuri/romance anime, I found out that the comedy was very amusing.

[darkchibi07]

Small updates on the website. Here's a cast list so far:

Sumika Murasame: Ayahi Takagaki (Noe in True Tears, Ruchia in Venus vs. Virus, Feldt in Gundam 00)
Ushio Kazama: Megumi Takamoto (Chao Lingshen in Negima, Winry in FMA: Brotherhood, Misaki in White Album)

Character designs for Kiyori and Masaki are revealed as well.

[Shiroth]

It's good to hear that Megumi Takamoto will be staring in another big role. She's doing but impressing me in her role for Winry. I hope to see more from her, especially in the main character department.

[KnightHart]

I'm excited already!
esp for Sumika! great seiyuu

Spoiler:

Masaki looks cute,damn I hate trap >_>;; wonder if we can see her cute little sister in the anime since she's my fav supporting chara xD

You mean Megumi Takamoto.

[darkchibi07]

They add more characters in the website!

Now can anyone read who playing who? Also it seems Natsumi Kiyoura is doing the OP and ED songs.

[Revenger1589]

Tomoe looks much more handsome here and Azusa just looks different to the manga somehow, maybe it's the hair, I wasn't expecting it to be blue. The rest looks the same but I think I actually like the anime's design more.

I liked her work on Sketchbook's OP, so this is good news.

I've read mnaga for this and for Aoi Hana and gotta say I find this one the much better read.
Not sure if it sdown to a growing dislike to the all female school setting for a yuri series or just some of the character's interactions in Aoi Hana but Sasameki just feels alot better to read.

Very much looking forward to this, more so than I did with Aoi Hana.

Misaki FTW!
