Viewster Streams Sora no ManiMani


Sora no ManiMani Visual 001 - 20160423Get ready for Many many weeks of Sora no ManiMani!

Earlier this month, streaming site Viewster added 2009’s Sora no Manimani to their digital library. The series kicked off on April 1 with six episodes. New episodes are being added on a weekly basis.

Sora no Manimani is based on Mami Kashiwabara’s manga of the same name. The 12-episode show was helmed by Shinji Takamatsu (Gintama, Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto) at Studio Comet. Takamtasu also wrote the scripts for the project, while Hajime Watanabe (Akazukin Cha-cha, School Rumble) provided character designs.

Viewster describes the series as:

Studio Comet brings us this visually striking anime about a bookworm-ish high school student who returns to his hometown and joins the local astronomy club. Saku Ooyagi is back, and both he and his childhood friend Mihoshi Akeno are starting school, but they haven’t seen each other since a painful accident years ago! Now Mihoshi is recruiting members for the astronomy club … and she’s fiercely determined to have him join the club. Hopefully, they’re relationship will improve as well! It’s no star left behind, with tons of beautiful stargazing scenes, and plenty of romance as well.
