The February issue of Bessatsu’s Shounen Magazine has run a story about the green-lighting of an anime adaptation of Kouji Kumeta’s Joshiraku manga series.

<em>Synopsis

Joshiraku focuses on a group of girls who are Japanese verbal show performers as they discuss random things and find that their conversations take them to unusual places far from their starting point.</em>

If the synopsis doesn’t blow you away then the name behind it should because Kumeta is the creator of Sayonara Zetubo Sensei. Furthermore Joshiraku is illustrated by Yasu who has worked on the Toradora novels. Joshiraku is a slice-of-life comedy that has run for three volumes since making its debut last year. It began life as a serialisation in Bessatsu Shounen Magazine.

For a second I thought you literally meant "a story", as in a Bakuman. style "behind the curtain" manga version of someone's anime adaptation getting green-lit. ^^;
