Exciting News: "Do You Like Big Girls?" Manga Gets Anime Adaptation
Suiseisha has recently announced that the beloved manga "Do You Like Big Girls?" by Gorō Aizome is getting an AnimeFesta television adaptation. While details remain scarce, the announcement has sparked excitement among fans worldwide.
The Appeal of the Manga
Seven Seas Entertainment, which has licensed the manga for English-speaking audiences, describes this engaging series as a comedic dive into an unconventional setting. The story follows Sota, a diminutive young man who becomes the hall director for a girls’ varsity volleyball team. Despite his size, Sota faces relentless teasing but is determined to rise to the challenge, making for an entertaining narrative filled with humor and unexpected dynamics.
The Journey of the Manga
"Do You Like Big Girls?" was launched by Aizome in Takeshobo’s Monthly Kissca magazine in 2014. Following the magazine’s closure in January 2022, the manga found a new home on the Takecomic platform. Takeshobo has released the eighth compiled volume, while Seven Seas has published the fourth omnibus volume in English.
Reception and Availability
The manga is known for its lighthearted take on life in an all-girls dorm. The unique storyline of Sota amidst towering volleyball players has created a niche audience. It’s currently available for serialization on the Takecomic website.
Behind the Scenes: AnimeFesta’s Impact
WWWave Corporation, known for its ComicFesta web manga service, owns the AnimeFesta programming block. Over the past eight years, AnimeFesta has adapted over 30 manga titles into anime, many of which contain mature themes. The first in this lineup was "On a Lustful Night Mingling with a Priest," which spurred the term "Sōryo-waku" to describe these series among fans.
Dual Versions for Different Audiences
AnimeFesta often produces two versions of its series: a censored "broadcast" version for television and an uncensored "premium" version available online. This strategy caters to diverse audience preferences and expands the reach of the content.
WWWave Corporation releases many titles, including "Do You Like Big Girls?" in English through its Coolmic website, and has started distributing anime on OceanVeil, broadening its accessibility for international viewers.
Final Thoughts
The adaptation of "Do You Like Big Girls?" into an AnimeFesta series is a thrilling development for fans of the manga. With its engaging plot and the innovative distribution methods employed by AnimeFesta, the anime promises to deliver the same blend of humor and charm that has characterized the manga. As fans eagerly await more details, the announcement marks a significant milestone in bringing Aizome’s work to a broader audience. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the series, this adaptation is one to watch.
