After announcing their licensing of Momokyun Sword, Sentai Filmworks has announced that they have picked up something on the other end of the spectrum in the form of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, or as they are now calling it Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun. This romantic comedy is being directed by Mitsue Yamazaki while the animation is being handled by Dogakobo.
Similar to their last announcement, Sentai Filmworks is planning on giving Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun a home video release sometime in the future and for those who are unfamiliar with the series, the company describes it as follows:
Love is the spirit that motivates an artist’s journey. Or, rather, it can and should be. Of course, for mangaka artist Nozaki… he’s clueless when it comes to those special feelings of love coming from his own classmate. It’s the age-old tale: the girl’s into a guy that barely knows they exist. And it’s no different for Sakura.
While all she can think about is him, all he cares about is the publication deadline looming over his head. Unfortunately, this all came about because Sakura didn’t share her true feelings with Nozaki. This all leads to a huge misunderstanding – and, as a result, Sakura becoming his assistant. Little did she know, but she now works for one of her favorite mangakas. Only she’s a he! And that’s the strange part; Nozaki is the creator of the popular shojo manga, Let’s Have a Romance!, under the alias of Yumeno Sakiko.
So, how could such a stubborn numbskull such as Nozaki be so in touch with a girl’s wants and needs to create such inspiring stories that Sakura loves? And will she spoil their working relationship to finally admit how she really feels about him? Time can only tell as this rom-com tale unfolds in Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun!
While Momokyun Sword has been streaming on Crunchyroll since the series began airing in Japan a few weeks ago, it had not been picked up for Western home release. Well today Sentai Filmworks has announced that they have acquired the license for Momokyun Sword and are planning on giving it a home release sometime in the future.
This fan-service heavy comedy adventure is being directed by Shinsuke Yanagi while the animation is being handled by Project No. 9 and Tri-Slash. As for the series itself, Sentai Filmworks describes the series as follows:
It was written in the stars the day Momoko came down the river, floating inside a giant peach found by an old childless couple. Although her fate might not yet be known to her, she was brought to this village to defend it. Now that she is all grown up, Momoko is prepared to fight. And while she might not be the sharpest sword in the sheath… what she lacks in smarts, she makes up for with her unwavering determination! Evil lurks in the distance as an army of ogres are planning to invade.
Along with her talking pet dog, monkey, and peasant – who just happen to also be gods – Momoko must protect and recover the Michimi Peach Fragments that are scattered all over Japan before its pieces fall into the wrong hands. Fragments of a holy peach of incredible powers, these powers could be harnessed and used for evil – – and exactly why the army of ogres are coming to invade. Luckily for our she-ro, Momoko has teamed up with a bevy of beauties that call themselves the Celestial Maiden Squad. Maron, Suika, Ringo, and Karin, too, have a bone to pick with the menacing monsters.
Together, the girls join forces as loli-warriors in order to stop the pillaging. Will they have what it takes? And will Momoko get the “on the job” training she needs, or fail in the process? Either way… prepare for a battle like no other as beautiful babes must battle in a Feudal Japan fantasy world in Momokyun Sword!
