Confined

Mao got the cover and lead color page of Sunday this week to celebrate the anime announcement! Watch the trailer if you haven't already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8hsY9L-vjQ

Classic Hakubi

Thanks for reading!
You could probably draw some comparisons between what's happening to Kagari now and what happened to her when we first saw her in the girls' school arc, but I suspect Rumiko didn't think about it that deeply.

Thanks OP

>>281248368
Thank you for posting!

I forgot to mention, the word he uses here is an archaic word for help/assistance that these days mainly refers to beheading a person after they've committed seppuku.

Here are some info pages that were in the magazine as well. No new info, I think, except maybe the VA quotes.

>>281247667
>TV anime adaptation confirmed!
feels good bros

>>281249533
Doesn't it just?

>>281247792
>always double-tap

>>281247879
>ENTER

>>281249592
after a hundred chapters of urusei anime this and ranma anime that, we're finally getting the words "mao anime" on chapter covers
>picrel ;u;

>>281251234
kek

>>281248180
>You're grounded young lady

>>281247661 (OP)
rumiko even gave him some lip gloss for the special occasion lol

>>281247970
do you think naraku learned how to
>EXIT
from hakubi?

>>281248368
what could yurako want with hyakka now?

>>281254450
She wanted udon but he'd closed down for the day by the time she found him

>>281253654
occasionally

>>281249533
Maybe we're not in the worst timeline.

>>281256471
now we have to manifest a 2-cour first season
form a circle and hold hands bros

>>281257181
I have to image they're doing two cours, one cour would barely get you to Shiranui's introduction at a typical rate of adaptation.

>>281253654
lol

>>281257419
To expand on this, I think the raid on Shiranui's shrine and Mao and Nanoka's date afterwards would be the perfect breakpoint for the first season, because
>You've introduced all the major players at that point
>It's a big exciting action setpiece to end the season on
>A mystery that was introduced near the start of the series gets resolved
>There's a bunch of new hooks to focus on in the next season
>You get to end on a lighter note with some romantic development between Mao and Nanoka
>The new Kou clan characters like Kagari and Souma start getting introduced right after that, which would be better left for the start of the next season
With two cours, it would mean using roughly 3.5 episodes per volume, which I think would be a fairly comfortable pace.

>>281258063
i mentioned similarly in a previous thread
also it would end on chapter 69

so, anon-san, when you said this...
>>281077581
>Well, I haven't really ever worked with actual scanned scans before

>>281257181
>form a circle and hold hands bros
T-That's hazukashi!

>>281258830
I mean, most mainstream stuff is available digitally these days. Only time I have to actually clean scans is when the author puts illustrations under the dustjacket.
Still, it's not like it's rocket science. I whipped this up as a test just now, I'd say it looks pretty acceptable aside from the blacks being a little grainy.

Anyone seiyuu you want for the other characters?
Honestly Kamon voice fells off
Really hope we get Hayamin for Sana/Yurako
And Umehara would be great for Daigo

>>281259376
>Umehara
what's the rest of his name? trying to look him up but there's more than one male with that surname

>>281258837
don't twist this pure act, anon!

>>281258182
Why 69?

>>281261659
the latter half of that chapter is a cooldown after the attack on shiranui's
nanoka even thinks to herself
>there are so many mysterious still ahead of us
which is the perfect line for an end of season the adventures will continue
you could start playing the ending theme in the background right there
and then mao and nanoka have a little bit of a misunderstanding

>>281259251
looking good, anon :-)

>>281247661 (OP)
I like how they snuck in more anime designs in the background
there's close-ups and other expression and angles

>>281263579
Huh, so they did. I actually didn't notice that.

pouty mao

>>281264221
shouting mao

>>281264230
shouting hyakka
what do you think they're saying bros?

a random shoe

kamon's side

mao with his sleeves rolled up

>>281264276
And half of Nanoka's face

>>281265617
well here's the rest of her

>>281265714
The bar makes it look like she has a freakishly long neck

>>281261822
That does sound very plausible.

>>281247661 (OP)

>>281268289
to be released next week I think

>>281263579
Good eye, anon.

>>281268847
On the 18th, which is Monday in Japan, but technically still next week in the west, I suppose.
