Manga creator Namori hit the Twitter feed in a big way for fans of Yuruyuri over the weekend as she announced that a new anime project for her popular property is in the works, though it wasn’t clear what kind of project it would be. Two series have come about so far for the slice of life manga which were simulcast on Crunchyroll with NIS America picking them up for Blu-ray releases along with Hulu distribution. It’s fairly likely that a third season is in the works but it could also mean some OAD episodes are forthcoming as well.
ということで… ゆるゆり新作アニメーション制作決定！！！みなさま本当に本当に応援ありがとうございます(*’▽’*)これからも一緒にゆるゆるゆりゆりしましょー！♪♪ #yuruyuri pic.twitter.com/a7AT0AGgRr

Original series concept: Right after starting middle school, Akari Akaza joins the Amusement Club, whose only other members are her two childhood friends Kyoko Toshino and Yui Funami. Chinatsu Yoshikawa, Akari’s classmate, becomes the fourth member after falling head over heels for Yui. The Amusement Club meets at the abandoned tea ceremony room and has no clear purpose, leaving the girls to do whatever they want. More often than not, Kyoko stirs up some wild scheme to get everyone in trouble as a means to pass the time and experience the ideal middle school life!
