A press
release listed that the manga written and illustrated by Yayu Murata ,
“ If
My Wife Became an Elementary School Student ( Tsuma,
Shougakusei ni Naru ),” will have an anime adaptation premiering
sometime this year in Japan. The statement listed production details, but did
not reveal the voice cast in charge.
Yayu Murata began publishing
the manga through the Houbunsha publisher's Weekly
Manga Times magazine in July 2018, and ended it in December 2022.
Therefore, this is one of those strange cases in which a finished manga gets an
anime adaptation. The above is possibly because the work was quite popular at
the time due to its curious theme.
Sinopsis
de If My Wife Became an Elementary School Student
Keisuke
Niijima lost his beloved wife, Takae, 10 years ago. Since then, he does not
feel alive and is seen as a gloomy man. The only family Keisuke has left is his
only daughter, Mai. Keisuke wants Mai to be happy, but he has done nothing for
her daughter other than providing for her. Father-daughter time stopped 10
years ago. They live in the same house but lead very separate lives and do not
communicate well. One day, an elementary school girl appears in front of
Niijima's house and claims that she is the reincarnation of Takae.
