Two Monthly Serializations to be Made into Anime Series

 Sora no Otoshimono (そらのおとしもの)and Omamori Himari (おまもりひまり) from monthly manga magazines Shonen Ace and Dragon Age respectively are set for the small screens!

 

 Omamori Himari, serialized in Dragon Age, is a romance-comedy about student Amakawa Yuto who has an allergy to cats, and the cat-spirit samurai girl, Himari. The series chronicles their adventures together as Himari has appeared to protect him from demons.
 
The popular series currently have five volumes of manga out in the market, as well as two novels. Come this autumn, fans can look forward to the series making waves on the small screen!

Set to hit the small screens in autumn too is the heart-warming comedy, Sora no Otoshimono. In a town called Sorami lives Sakurai Tomoki who lives by the motto, ‘Peace is best!’ However, that peace is shattered when a girl called Ikaros, falls from the sky and has the power to give him everything he wishes for, from being rich, becoming invisible…even stopping time!
 
However, the cast for both anime is still undecided, but if you can’t wait, you can get the August issue of Shonen Ace on sale 26 June to find out details for Sora no Otoshimono.
 
Alternatively, you can also attend the tvk Anime Festival held in June to find out details! More information here.

Mitsuki Sohara
 A neighbor and childhood friend of Tomoki, she is worried by Ikaros suddenly living at Tomoki’s house. She makes use of her killer move, ‘Sohara Chop’ to fight off Tomoki’s sexual harassment.
 
Sugata Eishiro
 He is Tomoki’s eccentric schoolmate and the one who finds Ikaros and forces Tomoki to put her up at his house.
