Ooh! There are indeed two!

The left is a special edition with a drama CD included, the right is the normal version!

The front cover of the special edition features an illustration of Sena while the normal version has Yozora – fans of the series will want to grab both just for that!
 
 

Then we come to the striking pink text!

“TV Anime Announced!”

Although I’m sure many of you already knew, as it was announced on the 18th of May in Asahi and Yomiuri newspapers. ^^;

But when is it going to start!!?

 
I decided to take a look around for the dates, but it seems they are not decided as of yet… but they do have a very interesting cast list up on the official website!

-Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Official Site-
http://www.mediafactory.co.jp/bunkoj/rinjinbu/

The top page of the site is really something to behold… those of you who understand Japanese can take a look and enjoy the joke on the top page… just mouse over the notice and read the characters that appear.

Anyway, I’m sure a lot of you are wondering why this is appearing on the blog! And the reason is this!

Yozora Mikadzuki and Sena Kashiwazaki…

Nendoroids are incoming!!

Yep, really!

The planning for the figures is to be done by Otakana, who has been dying to do figures from the series – when the anime announcement was made he jumped at the chance and is now super happy that there will be figures! :P

That’s all the info I have for now, but I will continue my stalking and let you know if I find out more! Those of you who just can’t wait might want to bookmark the following site… ;)
