Director Akiyuki Shinbo is teaming up again with his Madoka Magica and Bakemonogatari studio SHAFT to make the television anime of Akira's Sasami-san@Ganbaranai light novel series. Katsuhiko Takayama (And Yet the Town Moves, Love, Election, and Chocolate) is in charge of the scripts, and Hiroki Harada (Romeo × Juliet, Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal) is designing the characters.
The story follows a hikikomori (shut-in) named Sasami who is unmotivated about even changing clothes or eating. Her brother takes care of her, even though she despises his slave-like nature. Sasami spends her days viewing the outside world via a "Brother Surveillance Tool" on her computer. In the outside world, the three beautiful Yagami sisters and Sasami's brother are in the middle of relationships worthy of a romantic comedy.

Basilisk manga artist Masaki Segawa has launched a new manga series based on another novel from Basilisk creator Futaroh Yamada on Thursday. Jū ~Ninpō Makai Tenshō~, the latest manga version of Yamada's Makai Tenshō novel, debuted in the September issue of Kodansha's Monthly Young Magazine.
In the story, 10 legendary swordsmen who should be dead are resurrected as demons through arcane powers. The Makai Tenshō novel already inspired several live-action films, as well as the video anime series that ADV Films and Media Blasters released under the English title Ninja Resurrection.
