This year’s 20th issue of Shogakukan’s Big Comic Superior magazine announced on Friday that Mami Tsumura’s Kotarō wa Hitori Gurashi (Kotaro Lives Alone) manga will get an anime adaptation on Netflix worldwide next spring.
Rie Kugimiya will play Kotaro Satо̄, and Toshiki Masuda will play Shin Karino.
Tsumura launched the manga in Big Comic Superior in 2015.
The “apartment comedy with laughs and tears” centers on a 4-year-old boy named Kotarō Satо̄, who moves next door to Shin Karino, an unsuccessful manga artist.
