Sasameki Koto, Asobi ni Ikuyo! Anime Adaptations?

An interesting combo of anime adaptations has just joined the rumorous club, after the Japanese website Moon Phase (via AnimeNation) reported that the mostly-unrelated manga / light novel series Sasameki Koto and Asobi ni Ikuyo! are both getting animated. But I won't be adding them to our anime database just yet, not until we get some sort of confirmation on this one. Or better yet, these ones.



The only vague similarity between the two is that their manga versions were serialized in the same Comic Alive magazine (of Maria Holic fame). Other than that, Sasameki Koto (pictured above) is a yuri manga by Ikeda Takashi about some schoolgirl-on-schoolgirl romantic action, that's so far been compiled into 3 volumes between 2007-2008.



Asobi ni Ikuyo!, on the other hand, is a more heterosexual comedy light novel series authored by Kamino Okina and illustrated by Houden Eizou, about a boy who invites an alien catgirl to live with him. Pictured above is Asobi ni Ikuyo!'s game version, released by Idea Factory in 2006. Highly unimpressive art, but still: who could ever turn down a catgirl? Especially if she's alien, and thus perfectly legal.
