An official site has opened and revealed that manga Hajimete no Gal will be receiving a TV anime adaptation. The site also revealed the series' key visual.

Synopsis
Spring. The "season of love" has arrived and it seems that finding himself a girlfriend was harder than Junichi believed. To break the status quo, Junichi's friends have forced him into confessing to the gyaru, Yame Yukana. However, things do not go quite as he expected. A series of "firsts" begins!

The series is drawn by Meguru Ueno and began publishing since November 2015. It's been serialized by Shounen Ace and currently has 2 volumes, with latest volume published on October 26, 2016.

Pretty mediocre manga.


This is as generic as it can get. The only plus about the manga is Yame-san can be cute from time to time. Rest of the manga is forgettable.

Studios like to pick up the most mediocre of manga (often trashy ones) out there. What surprises me though is the material in hand for an adaptation isn't enough. I don't see them making a full season out of it. 5/7 minutes shorts would be possible at the very best because this manga is unintelligent and doesn't have long dialogues or monologues either.

tl;dr seeing this manga making its way to some people's favourites, I have already observed a minute of silence.

I fully agree with this post.

Only thing I'm glad is that gyaru girls are getting more love lately, and more shows are featuring them, other then that, I won't be watching this.

Hoping for J.C. Staff to adapt this. Dogakobo or Brains Base are also good choices. Will probably be 1-cour adapting 30/40 chapters, which is great as won't be rushed then.

Wow, this is a pleasant surprise.
For those looking for a non-generic/cliche show, this isn't for you and your super generic/cliche judgment. This is clearly a mindless romcom with pretty much nothing new to offer, but it's fun nonetheless. Keep your expectations low and you'll pretty much enjoy this.

Awesome news quite enjoyed readin the manga so looking forward to it i just hope it wont be short episodes due the lack of material and they rather wait until end of 2017 so that they have enough chapters to adapt.

One question, and not really offending nor being a dick here, but how many chapters does the manga have though (along with the pages)? Because the thing is here... when you said shorts I kinda don't see the point in making it, unless the pages per chapter of its manga are relatively short. If that was the case then to a way I can see what you mean.

Again, not trying to sound like a dick here. Just curious.

Art looks fab and it sounds like it will be a lot of fun so I'm game. I presume it will be a short series given the amount of content there is and I think that format will bring out the best in it.

if you talking about assuming that the adaptationwill be short, it currently has only 2 volume ongoing... so original source it self doesn't really have lot content to adapt... at least 4 volume is the usual need for a cour normal adaptation from normal manga without noticable filler (2-3 volume is enough for 4-koma)...

Julyan is not wrong though and that is coming for someone who actually like reading this. It is not exemplary but it is fun for what it is worth and main girl reactions are fun.

Only the main girl is actually "after" him though. The other girl is just a bitch toying with the dude for kicks

It's a pretty sweet one-on-one romance with an actual established coupling from the very beginning for once

When this gonna be aired? If it's after 2 years like the usual might as well read it that year.
Because I don't wanna read something that takes two years to be shown as Anime.

So far there are 21 chapters (?) translated out there. I guess there aren't much more out right now.

Not I'm not like this manga or anything, I enjoy the girl boldness and as for the guy, she is too good to be true, I kinda see this anime as

a) some short anime - 12 min each episode
b) will air a bit later and not any soon - like in Fall 2017?

Anyway - good news for me.

I'm sure you know that most 'studios' other than KyoAni don't go out and choose what books to adapt. They are asked either to join the production committee or they are hired by the production committee to adapt the work to anime. They can certainly decide not to join the committee or decide not to accept the job of animating it but for the most part it is the publisher who decides what to make, not the studio.

Well, the manga is very generic and an averagey fanservice romcom.

Will still watch to kill some time.

Unless the air date is far from now, or unless the stretch it out and take some creative spins, I cant see this being anything other than a short of some kind.

My guess is it will be shorts, perhaps 8-12 min length episodes. That would suit this manga really well. Being a short doesn't make it bad and TBH I think this type of manga would suit it.

Shorts can be quite good, for example Yama no Susume and Tonari no Seki-kun were excellent shorts.

As for Minamoto Monogatari, I doubt that would ever get a broadcast anime. It could get a Hentai!

.. That was fast? It got an anime pretty early i see.

Picked this up not too long ago and it was not bad. Glad to see this get an anime, should be quite entertaining.

Yame is pretty hot and i really liked the art style. Wonder who will adapt this? I think J.C Staff would be fitting.
