Today in conjunction with the release of the fourth volume of Sutahiro manga Otaku no Musume-san, a two volume drama CD set was announced! The story of a 20-something otaku who finds a daughter on his doorstep one day that he didn’t know he had has come a long way from its humble webcomic roots, currently serialized in Dragon Age and with this new Drama CD set produced by some of the best talent in the business (including the “original landlady” Shimamoto Sumi reprising her spiritual role as OnMs landlady Asou Taeko). The first CD volume is scheduled for release on June 27th at 2,940 yen. Check out the CD official site for a very funny manga promo movie as well as voice samples.
The main reason I’m posting this (other than for inherent awesomeness) is that drama CDs have traditionally paved the way to anime series, and with this as one of my favorite manga currently running the mere possibility of an anime in its future engages the engines of delicious fanboy self-delusion. We’ll keep an eye out for further news. (no more)
:O
Now if more people would translate the manga :(
sounds interesting
Should be awesome.
Now only if the Yotsuba& music albums would get us a TV series…
the Yubisaki Milktea manga saw a drama cd with Noto Mamiko and Tamura Yukari among others voicing roles, but no anime ever came out of it :( Also, the manga’s been stuck at chapter 74 for the past year >.< It’s one of my favorite mangas at the moment…first time causing me to go out and buy up the manga for chapters I haven’t read yet lol
Anyway, think I saw some pics from this Otaku no Musume manga before and thought it might look interesting. Maybe I should pick it up.

You can read the bulk of the manga’s first volume online, legally and free, at the artist’s website (this is the part that was originally released as a webcomic). Can’t beat a full volume “sample” to help decide whether you want to make an actual purchase. :3
I picked up the first three volumes in Osaka a month ago- good to see that there is a new volume! Not knowing my Japanese though, I thought she was his long suffering GF! Oops…
nice thanks for the link! ^^
