The TV anime Working!! is adapted by studio A-1 Pictures, based on Karino Takatsu's 4-koma comedy / slice-of-life manga set in a family restaurant named Wagnaria in the northern Japanese prefecture of Hokkaido. The main character is a high school freshman named Souta Takanashi, who works part-time among the restaurant's high-spirited, mysterious, yet cool staffers. The anime begins regular airing in Japan from April 2010, although the first episode is being previewed on a couple of TV stations in early March.
