The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behavior
Pony Canyon announced the home video release for Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou, aka The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behavior, a few weeks back and now they’re doing some promotion for it. Interestingly, we’ve got four promo spots for it all bundled up together in one video to help get you excited for the first volume. The thirteen episode series is getting a seven volume release beginning on July 2nd, 2014 with new volumes coming out monthly from there. The DVD releases are set to be priced at 5,500 yen each while the Blu-ray releases are priced at 6,400 yen each. The first volume has a few details to it in that it’s coming with a box to hold all seven volumes and will also include a booklet and an end card pinup. No on-disc extras are listed yet.
Sentai Filmworks has acquired the series for North American release previously and it is currently simulcasting on Crunchyroll and Hulu.
Plot concept: Living away from home can have its perks, especially when you’re just a kid: no parents, no rules, no curfew! Add the fact that you just – miraculously – moved in right next to the girl of your dreams and it sounds too good to be true. Naturally, things that sound too good to be true usually are. Kazunari Usa’s independence arrives by way of his parents’ new job placement. However, with this newfound freedom come the shackles of responsibility, and his hopes and dreams are soon dashed when confronted with the indecent behavior of his lecherous neighbor, Shirosaki. Usa promised he wouldn’t complain if he could just live on his own… he just didn’t expect so much drama. Not only do Usa and his dream-girl Ritsu attend the same school, but Ritsu’s grandaunt, the landlady Sumiko, tries to give Usa weird relationship advice regarding the two. To top it all off, everything is upended when Usa meets Mayumi, an older, flirty woman that he runs into on the street. Will Usa’s fantasy of a normal life ever become a reality?
