“A Centaur’s Life” Manga Gets Anime Adaptation


So, we’ve had monster maidens and interviews with monster girls are coming. After that, though? We’re chasing centaurs!

The 14th compiled volume of Kei Murayama’s A Centaur’s Life (Centaur no Nayami / Centaur’s Worries) manga is slated to hit stores on December 13. The book’s cover features an announcement that the title will receive an anime adaptation.

As of press time, no details on the work are known. Series editor Ikai Kamiki tweeted images of the cover on his personal account.

A Centaur’s Life began publication in Tokuma Shoten’s Comic Ryu in December 2010. Seven Seas currently holds the North American rights to the title. They describe it as:

Being a teenager is never easy… especially for a centaur! Himeno is a sweet, shy girl, who like many teens her age, struggles with the trials and tribulations of attending high school. The difference is she’s a centaur; but she’s not alone. In fact, all of her classmates are supernatural creatures, sporting either horns, wings, tails, halos, or some other unearthly body appendage. Yet despite their fantastical natures, Himeno and her best friends-the dragon-winged Nozomi, and Kyoko with her spiraled horns-are down-to-earth, fun-loving teenagers who grapple with issues of life and love in a mostly normal daily school setting.
