Is this an anime series? Maybe. Their news say they&#8217;re having a big booth in Anime Japan, so I figure it&#8217;s something big. If it&#8217;s not a series, maybe a movie. If it&#8217;s a movie, then it&#8217;ll probably just carry on until Sotsugyousei (Graduates) but I think they should push until OB just to make everyone happy. That&#8217;ll fit around 12 episodes. Maybe. Is it something released with the manga? Probably not. Else, only Opera would make the news and they won&#8217;t bother with the official anime site. Why Doukyuusei? I can only speculate that this is the result of Asumiko&#8217;s hard work which paid off as it became really popular. At the end of the day, it&#8217;s a really great story. <\/p>\n<p>Haven&#8217;t read Doukyuusei? You can read it in Japanese digitally via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/%E5%90%8C%E7%B4%9A%E7%94%9F-EDGE-COMIX-%E4%B8%AD%E6%9D%91%E6%98%8E%E6%97%A5%E7%BE%8E%E5%AD%90-ebook\/dp\/B00DOPPB70\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1426369555&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=%E6%98%8E%E6%97%A5%E7%BE%8E%E5%AD%90\">Kindle<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebookjapan.jp\/ebj\/title\/11141.html\">Ebookjapan<\/a>(it&#8217;s on sale for 300yen in ebookjapan!).
