If you were
looking for a school romance without love triangles or excessive drama, there's
good news. The yuri manga Let Me Fix You (Watashi ga Kanojo
or Naosu) officially confirmed the production of its own animated
adaptation. This weekend's announcement was pretty straightforward,
featuring a commemorative illustration of the original
creator, Sakura Kurihara.
Measured
doses of love between girls
The
production committee made clear an important technical detail about the
broadcast. It will not be a standard-length series; The project is structured
as a short-form anime. By planning short episodes of
just a few minutes, the management seeks to adapt the initial chapters with a
much more agile pace. Regarding who will give life to these two high
school girls, the original statement omitted the names of the cast. We will
have to wait for the next updates from the production company to know which
voice actresses will take the main roles.
From
digital format to television programming
The
commercial trajectory of this work is quite solid. It started by publishing as
an independent webcomic and, by maintaining a constant growth
in readership, managed to ensure its publication in physical printed format
(which is still active to date). Much of its stability is due to the way it
approaches love between girls, betting on very earthly everyday
life situations. Its readers tend to consume the work looking for calm
interactions and white comedy, an atmosphere that the future series will seek
to replicate to the letter.
How does
the main dynamic work?
This
whole school romance is built on a rather particular premise.
One of the protagonists has serious organizational problems, making constant
mistakes in her most basic day-to-day tasks. Noticing this pattern, her
classmate makes a proactive decision to help her out and try to "fix"
her bad habits. What begins as a simple assistance to order his life, quickly
takes on romantic comedy overtones. Daily coexistence pushes
both students to cross the barrier of simple friendship and to confront what
they really begin to feel for each other.
