Hana Sakeru Seishounen Manga Gets Anime

I slack around for just a few days, and the anime announcements start pouring in like crazy; oh, joy! So anyway, yet another newly revealed anime that's set to begin in April 2009 is Hana Sakeru Seishounen - based on a girly manga by Natsumi Itsuki from... way too long ago... '80s, '90s stuff. The anime is planned as a 3 "kuru" (39 episode) TV series, and it's currently in the works at Studio Pierrot - of Naruto and Bleach fame.



ANN is kind enough to share the manga's story with us: "The story focuses on Kajika Louisa Kugami Burnsworth, the product of a Caribbean encounter between the international magnate Harry Burnsworth and a Japanese woman 14 years old". 14 years old?... Oh, sorry, 14 years ago! And what kind of a screwed up name is Kajika Louisa Kugami Burnsworth?! You'd have to have some massive issues, to name your little girl like that.

The plot thickens when Kajika - who has been living in Japan as a middle school girl - is summoned by the elder Burnsworth to America. There she must choose a husband from three suitors, but in the process she also manages to get tangled up in international intrigue over oil and wealth in Southeast Asia, France and America.

Oook, back to digging for more interesting news.
