Yuri Manga Awajima Hyakkei Gets Anime Adaptation

The manga series, Awajima Hyakkei (One Hundred Views of Awajima), is currently being transformed into an anime. The series is a coming-of-age omnibus that focuses on the girls attending a music academy, with each chapter highlighting a different character’s story.

Awajima Hyakkei is an adolescent drama and romance that centers around a group of young girls attending a “girls-only musical school.”Through multiple perspectives, the story captures the most pivotal years of their lives and the bond they share.

The setting of the story is a one-of-a-kind place, known as the Awajima Musical School Training Camp, which is designed to function as a boarding house. It serves as a hub for aspiring female performers from different parts of Japan to come together and showcase their talents on stage, resulting in a lively and competitive ambiance that acts as both a refuge and a battleground.

In anticipation of the final volume of Takako Shimura’s beloved coming-of-age yuri manga series, Awajima Hyakkei, the official Twitter account for publisher Ohta Web Comics has revealed that the series will be receiving an anime adaptation.
