Animation studio Madhouse always has a busy schedule and now they’ve added another project as they’ll be doing the adaptation of Hanayamata. The series is based on the manga of the same name by Sou Hamayumiba that runs in Manga Time Kirara Forward. The manga kicked off back in 2011 and is set to have its fourth compiled volume released in early January 2014. The series doesn’t have any sort of timeline at the moment but Madhouse already has two series lined up across the winter and spring seasons with Magical Warfare and The Irregular at Magic High School respectively.
Plot concept: Normal appearance, normal intelligence, normal in arts and sports… just normal. This is the entirely normal 14-year-old, Naru Sekiya. While she admires “Heroines” she continues to live a normal life until one moonlit night she meets a fairy. This foreign girl then guides her into the extraordinary world of the yosakoi dance.
