Kodansha announced on Saturday that Keigo Maki's Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san (Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie) manga is receiving a television anime adaptation.

Synopsis
Shikimori seems like the perfect girlfriend: cute, fun to be around, sweet when she wants to be... but she has a cool dark side that comes out under the right circumstances. And her boyfriend Izumi loves to be around when that happens! (Source: Kodansha Comics)

Maki originally serialized the romantic comedy manga on Twitter under the title Kawaii dake ja Nai Onnanoko Manga in September 2018 before it was picked up by Magazine Pocket in February 2019. Kodansha will publish the seventh volume on January 8. Kodansha Comics licensed the manga in English last March and published the second volume on December 26.

HELL YEAH!! It's time for Chad GF to steal any best girl status when its airing during that season!

Literally one of my favorite romance manga currently. It's just pure fluff. And I really enjoy not just the friends but the MC's parents too. Especially the MC's dad in certain chapters. He was really awesome in those chapters.

Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber!
Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route!

it's very good if you love romance especially romcom, check it out, would be one of the cutest/coolest (unironically,literally) you'd ever witness. Shikimori-san is such an angel.

Another romcom anime! Shikimori-san has a vibe of Yuno Gasai for some reason or maybe I'm wrong, I don't know! Well I'll look and see how it goes! ^_^

Haven't read the manga yet which I may only start once it's finished.
I enjoyed the mangaka's one-shots though which is why I have it on my PTR List.

Manga wasn't bad, I got somewhat numbed to it by the initial premise's gimmick going nowhere - so I don't really know how it proceeds. But if it's Doga Kobo doing it, then I'm sure they'll deliver, and it's going to be an enjoyable watch.

Is it me, or has there been a boom in romantic comedies about everyday life of pure straight couples lately in Japan?

They're geniuses at adapting SoL, but romcom about a straight couple? Usually they only did original shows of this type.

Well, I've enjoyed pretty much every show of theirs, so I don't really mind. I even like that over time they gradually move away from the obsession with yuri / moe / CGDCT and their variations.

Ye like Ikeburo West Gate Park from last season which honestly was so underwhelming. The show was quite promising at start but by the end it was a dissapointment. Thou yeah I like all their moe stuff too.

Was that their show? Lol, without any information, it looked like an anime that MAPPA could have made with the pizza-free money. Well, that is like Zamurai, lol.

So, what's exactly the gf gimmick? I mean, the "cool dark side"?

She's a covert sadist, goes foul-mouthed when very angered, is lowkey tsun, becomes violent...?

No, the series is way more wholesome than that. If you imagine a stereotypical romance scenario where the girl is in danger of being splashed by a car driving by after the rain, and the guy rushes in to shield her, that's the sort of "cool" that Shikimori is.

But not to oversimplify. Both Shikimori and Izumi have their times to be cool and their times to be cute.

What is really meant by "cool dark side"? Another waifu that abuse her boyfriend?? Or a cute tsundere??
And what about the boy? A wimp who is beaten by his girlfriend or a cool guy??

This! Not just the vibe, but the fact that both of them are "overprotective to do anything out of length for their bf".
But I don't see much people out there realising this.
Real life is boring, so I immerse myself deep into the virtual fantasies of animes...
