Maken-Ki! and fanservice are pretty much synonymous at this point, but give the show a chance to step outside of broadcast sensibilities for a bit for a bundled episodes coming this September with the manga, and they’ll ramp it up a bit more. A new promo has been released to show off the work that’s going to hit then and there’s also a good nod towards the next season, Maken-Ki! Two, which is set for a winter broadcast.
FUNimation simulcast the first season of the series and picked up the home video rights in July 2012.
Series concept: Based on the manga series by Takeda Hiromitsu, this romantic comedy is about Ohyama Takeru, a typical perverted teenage boy. His new school doesn’t require entrance exams, and it just turned co-ed! Unfortunately, his dreams of a happy high school life are dashed when he finds out the school is much more than it seems. All of the students wield a special item – a Maken – to unleash their magical abilities in duels! Can Takeru find a Maken that works for him? Even while trying to fit in at a new school and dealing with all kinds of girl problems?
