Illustration: Shiromizakana
Story: Sadanatsu Anda
The first volume's synopsis hito random, from Akiba Kakaku
5 boys and girls full-shuffled! 5-way love pentagon comedy! At clubhouse room 401, there gathers "anything goes" members of the culture study society. Pro-wrestling otaku Taichi Yaegashi, mysterious beauty Iori Nagase, cool Himeko Inaba, the clown Yoshifumi Aoki and fancy-loving Yui Kiriyama found the noisy but calm days suddenly come to a halt. The personality switched among the members--. The unnatural days of changinging into "someone" by getting back to "themselves" by becoming "someone else" has started!
"Shiromizakana" is an illustrator rumored to be Yukiko Horiguchi, character designer/production director of "Lucky Star" and "K-ON!" from Kyo-Ani (Kyoto Animation) . A novel department staff at AKIHABARA GAMERS main store commented "The pictures are attracting attention from light novel fans" "There is a high possibility that the artist is related to Kyo-Ani, if not Horiguchi herself".
It might be too early for a call for animation, but it is clear that this is a "picture buy" title.
There is also a manga based on the first chapter of volume 1, and a Drama CD coming out next year.
so its a slice of life comedy at a highschool with attractive character designs (K-ON!), which was enough for me to get interested, but alas I cannot translate which is why I could gather some attention at these series for anyone interested.
