Non Non Biyori Contributes Character Designs To Hai-Furi Anime


Last month, we reported that Non Non Biyori creator Atto was working on a new anime series. An issue of Monthly Comic Alive magazine revealed that the author was providing character designs for a then-unnamed series.

Earlier today, we received the first real details on the production. A teaser site for a new anime series, titled Hai-Furi, opened with a piece of character art, and a confirmation that this is indeed the series to which Atto is contributing his character designs.

Hai-Furi will be a TV series, which is being produced Aniplex. The copyright information lists AIS and the “Maritime Safety Development Bureau” as holders of the rights to the title. More information will be announced in Monthly Comic Alive magazine’s October issue, which hits on August 27.

Until then, we have a single character visual, which you can check out below:
