Kayanon takes my vote for the most skilled active seiyuu (my previous one was Nakahara Mai but she hasn't had any big roles since 2010 :shrug. Apart from Menma, Kayanon also did Muginami from Rinne (air headed ditz), Inori from Guilty Crown (stoic Rei-clone), and Mikono from Aquarion (typical tsundere), all vastly different from each other. So yeah, the question I ask of Kayanon is not whether she can play a role, but what roles she can NOT play?
And lol, this is a smut? Well, considering smut generally is one notch closer to hentai than ecchi is, I'm not complaining.

The website's now open: http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/sukinayo/ - they're also still being cautious so as not to mention whether it'll be an OAD or a TV series...

I couldn't picture it as anything else than a TV series either, but you can never be too cautious, especially when they precisely avoid the "TV" mention when most announcements make it clear right away. Either way, ZEXCS have confirmed on their Twitter that it will indeed be a TV series!

So I'm up to date with the manga of what's scanlated. My verdict?
This series is amazing. Haven't read a shojo manga this good since Bokura ga Ita and to a lesser extent Sand Chronicles, though I never finished that series. It's got everything I want in a shojo - gorgeous art, drama, comedy, great realistic characters (minus how they look - lol @ fabulous male lead) not afraid to deal with relationships issues such as sex, friends with benefits, cheating (hence the "smut" label, but really, this is in no way anything the level of say something Velvet Kiss level of smut) and with the right amount of "mushy" romance. Extremely impressed. In fact, if this ever gets licensed, I think I'll buy the copies. Unfortunately, for romance purists (who want straight romance, without any deviations, misunderstandings, complicated drama), I don't think this a series for you. Was the same deal with Bokura ga ita (and the reason why it got a bit of hate from certain audiences), and it's pretty much the same here. But if you're a fan of drama with ups and downs, twists and turns, highs and lows, heartwarming to rageworthy, then this is DEFINITELY for you. Tyvm Deikan, you were right, this is top class. Very much looking forward to the anime. Assuming this is relatively faithful, I'm expecting great things. And as Guardian Enzo said, screw the studio, it's all about the production staff, and with the Steins Gate director in charge, I'm expecting great things. Although I'm skeptical, I think I'll give the other Dessert manga a shot to compare even though its a romcom. Last edited by Pocari_Sweat; 2012-05-25 at 11:55. |

Thinking about it, Sukitte might end up like Kaichou wa Maid Sama while Tonari will end up like Kimi ni Todoke. The former would be pretty fun ride while using cliches here and there while the other would give more of a refreshing take on usual shoujo cliches.

Anyways, for the former I had in mind something more rom and less com and for the latter at least something, well, less slow

The visuals for the characters looks nice. Oh yes, this anime is slated for this fall and I'm sure many of you probably already knew that.

Not impressed by those designs. Guessing that's Mei on the left, and she really doesn't look right. The only way to really tell is skirt length.
They generally just aren't capturing the original character designs. I'd like this series to be well done, the source is really excellent. Quote:
