S.A.^2 (Special A, Soon to be an Anime)

My bunny ears just caught a sizzling news… that is, Special A is going to be anime-ted!! I am not kidding. It’s announced in Hana to Yume, where it’s serialized. I’m especially delighted by this news, being a fan of the manga myself. Although I somewhat stopped following it months ago.

The air date of the anime is yet to be announced, but still… this is certainly something to look forward to! Brace yourselves for the latest buzz on this news, particularly the probable seiyuu casting and staff for the anime.
