We have some exciting new for Skip and Loafer fans! The new anime series based off of Misaki Takamatsu's Skip and Loafer just released its first promo video for the anime on its official Twitter account. The anime is set to be released this April.
Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the manga digitally and in English print. They released the following as a description for the new series:
Excellent student Iwakura Mitsumi has always dreamt about leaving her small town, going to a prestigious university, and making positive change in the world. But she's so focused on reaching her goals that she's not prepared for the very different (and overwhelming) city life that awaits her in a Tokyo high school. Luckily, she makes fast friends with Shima Sousuke, a handsome classmate who's as laid-back as she is over-prepared. Can this naive country girl make it big in Tokyo with Sousuke by her side?

Skip and Loafer Manga
Takamatsu's manga of the series was released bak in 2018 in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine. The manga's most recent eighth book series was published this Monday.
The manga was ranked as the seventh best manga for male readers in Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! (This Manga Is Amazing!) guidebook's 2020 edition. It received nominations for both the Best General Manga category of Kodansha's 44th Annual Manga Awards and the 13th Manga Taisho Awards in 2020.
I am excited to see how the series turns out! The manga has seen a lot of great success, so it will be fun to see if the show will follow in a similar suit. We will find out this April!
