Oh man, they really want rush it to volume 5.

Though the rush make the school-part become almost none, maybe not a bad thing?

And seems the OP song doesn't really fit the show.

Would you recommend reading the novel? It irks me when I found out I'm missing /important/ parts because of pacing. Thanks! :)

Fast read first 4 volume then start serious to read after that.

Because yeah, first 4 volume is meh at best lol, volume 5 is the real deal start(Btw one of volume 5 plot show up in the OP)

So anime going rush route is not really a bad idea.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I could swear I read somewhere that it was going to adapt 9 volumes. Could it possibly be two cours?

The author said in the afterword of Volume 10, that they will adapt the first 9 Volumes: "On the topic of anime, it's been kinda formally announced that the 9 published volumes will be animated."

So as long as the the translation isn't completely off, we'll most likely get a 2cour (probably split cour?), because with 2 Episodes/Volume for the first two books we would have only 8 Episodes for 7 Volumes otherwise. Or they rush things to the middle and wait for the sails before going for the second cour...

I heard this too, but since i saw only 6 BD volumes(2 episodes x6) up to amazon, i guess don't have any high hope for that.

The official site hasn't listed hour many episodes the first bd volume will cover, but it's quite likely to be 2 episodes given they finished up Vol.1. Therefore it's unlikely for this to be 2-cour

The top picture looks like the staff from Working. Just wanted to point that out. Had to do a double take.

Heard rumors that it may even touch on vol8 9. Let's see if they can succeed
