If you thought that a cell phone girl or a right-hand girlfriend was a disturbed idea, think again. Word from the Japanese blogosquid is that Akikan! - a light novel series with one of the most absurd scenarios ever - will be getting an anime adaptation. What may seem like a generic romantic comedy story at first, soon turns out to be... well, not much more, really; other than its ludicrous theme of soda cans transforming into hawt girls, called "akikan" ("empty can"), who "need to be infused with carbon dioxide from kissing to survive" (the mind boggles...). Needless to say, the awkward task of blowing these canned lolis is assigned to the most typical loser dude possible.

The official announcement is expected to come with the fifth volume of the Akikan! light novels, which will be released this Friday, April 25, by publisher Shueisha - who has already hinted at a "big news" on that day. Looking at them hypo-carbonated cover lolis below... yep, I'd say it's big enough to stir our derranged interest.
