From what I found online, this looks interesting. Mainly due to the gag where the guy really doesn't want to be a girl but is forced to anyways. Add to the wierd school, barbed wire fences separating the girls and guys side?
Sadly, like most series nowadays derived from novels, I'm guessing the novels for this series won't be translated. If they are translated, they will do one volume every year or two. |

The one weird thing about the story is how the guy's voice doesn't change even in girl form. Which I find a little messed up. But glad it's animated.
Well, original sources of anime adaptations tend not to be translated regardless of the format. At least these animes are getting certain light novels more exposure and having them translated. Whether by fans or companies. |

How can you tell? Is it the way he speaks or is it something else?

Just to clear up I read the first volume. Don't remember exactly the situation because I didn't like it that much. But something about the guy not wanting to speak to his friends because they'd recognize his voice. I remember going WTF at that. Kind of weird since there are a lot of even more WTF stuff in the book. But that particular instance for some reason was the only thing I remembered.
I didn't like the story enough to continue reading. But I'd welcome an anime adaptation. |

I wasn't too impressed with the novels too but I think it's hilarious enough to make a nice anime adaptation. Looking forward to this. |

ah so then this was a fault by the manga translator.
or probably in japanese it says "the voice is [...]" in the context talking about the stuffed animal. because of the structure of the manga you could get that wrong. well i dont mind if it adds something to the comedy. |

it's nothing new considering sekirei is a clone of hundreds of other harem animes as well.
at least the main character starts straight off getting involved in the fighting instead of being a sidelined useless emotional comfort toy for the females, that's one of my major pet peeves with the genre. either way hopefully it won't catch up with the novels (though honestly i doubt it will considering how many books are out)
