The anime started out as the first anime short in Dwango and Studio Khara’s Japan Anima(tor)’s Exhibition (Japan Animator Expo) project.
The official website for the television anime adaptation of Yasuyuki Kosaka’s Hōkago Teibō Nisshi (Afterschool Embankment Journal) manga revealed on Tuesday the main staff, a teaser visual, and the April 2020 premiere.
Akita Shoten released the manga’s fourth compiled book volume on April 19, and the fifth will ship on Friday.
The short then spawned a two-episode feature-length version that debuted in Japan in February 2017.
