One day in summer, the cute but weird girl Shidare Hotaru, from the famous sweets company, comes to pay a visit.

Well this was a surprise! I enjoyed what I read of it in the manga.

Marcus H. · 2015-09-18, 07:23

Totally in love with Hotaru's character design. Feels like a vast improvement of the design of Hajime Ichinose from GatchCrowds.

bastek66 · 2015-09-18, 10:10

So fast. Do they even have material for whole season? I guess it will be shorts.

Flower · 2015-09-18, 10:16

Yeah...I also thought it was kinda fast. The odd, off the wall dialogue and story method of presentation (not the content at all, which is very different) have reminded me a little of D-Frag.

Kinda curious to see how they might try and pull this off....

Revan21 · 2015-09-18, 10:21

The manga has 50 chapters already, so that might be enough for a 1cour season, even with full length episodes.

Looking forward to it,
Hotaru is crazy but highly entertaining

moodie · 2015-09-18, 11:00

Indeed =03. Its the eyes that's the best, which really suits her crazy obsession with dagashi.

Yeah, I suppose if they do 4 shorts in the span of 20 mins, it'll be jusst enough to finish out a season.

SHAFT already had their chance with Koufuku. I'd personally like to see Silver Link doing some magic here.

Izumo · 2015-09-19, 10:26

This manga is really funny but there is a problem, is short as fuck so don't expect 20+ mins per episode, just 5 mins at max.

that or lerche....but silver link has a distinct style in terms of character design that wouldnt really fit this art...unless its staff is outside silver link but still silver link ie. strike the blood, 35 platoon, yuri bears, i doubt silver link would even touch it

if its not shaft (which i think would work) its probably lerche imo...but i speculate

AceTrigger · 2015-09-19, 17:10

I think it's studio Lerche by looking at the key visual. I could be wrong though.

Does anyone know why there are so many doujins of Hotaru???..

I think Lerche is the best option, I mean look at Monster Musume and the perfect job they are doing with that manga.

Also why so many doujins? because Hotaru delicious.
