It’s almost summer and if you’re resting in the shade for a while or headed to your vacation destination then we know a few anime series we’d recommend to occupy your time with. These are 10 titles we look forward to,\u00a0keeping to the order of the series\u2019\u00a0air dates.<\/p>\n
Hitorijime My Hero (\u3072\u3068\u308a\u3058\u3081\u30de\u30a4\u30d2\u30fc\u30ed\u30fc)<\/h4>\nType:<\/strong> Anime Starts airing:<\/strong> 2nd<\/sup> of July 2017 On several websites you\u2019ll find the following demotivating text: ‘This story is about Kensuke\u2019s brother, Kousuke Ooshiba and his friend, Setagawa Masahiro of the manga Hitorijime Boyfriend’. If you happen to be familiar with the manga of Hitorijime Boyfriend then you\u2019ll understand the text better than someone who isn\u2019t. That manga was about Kensuke and his best friend, Hasekura, which friendship Kensuke breaks off at some point. Three years later they run into one another and it seems like nothing has changed. This makes Kensuke happy, but Hasekura has a different idea about their \u2018friendship\u2019. In that story brother dearest, Kousuke and his good friend Masahiro appear as well, which creates an opportunity for the spin-off manga Hitorijime My Hero. Setagawa Masahiro is someone who doesn\u2019t have a pleasant home life, his mother doesn\u2019t pay attention to him and he comes into contact with thugs who use him as his help to get groceries. All of those boys get beat up by someone who is referred to as \u2018The Bear Killer\u2019. This eventually turns out to be Kousuke and he makes sure Masahiro lands on his feet. Of course, there\u2019s something behind it, because if you\u2019ve known each other for years something starts to grow. But Kousuke eventually becomes a teacher at the school his little brother and Masahiro attend and the age difference is not insignificant.<\/p>\n Recommended by <\/strong>Fran<\/a>: Type:<\/strong> Anime Starts airing:<\/strong> 3rd<\/sup> of July 2017 Imagine: when you turn sixteen the government will assign you a husband or wife.

Imagine: you are a son or daughter from a rich family, you won\u2019t get very far with athletic abilities or being a bookworm. Reading your opponent and the art of making a deal, that is what\u2019s important in life. Winners live like kings, losers are put through the wringer. This is what it\u2019s like on the academy, but then Yumeko Jabami appears.<\/p>\n Recommended by Fran<\/a>: Type:<\/strong> Anime Starts airing:<\/strong> July 2017 When Yuma Okazaki gets a boyfriend she asks her best friend Hotaru Mizu, who she\u2019s known since childhood, for advice. Hotaru\u2019s advice doesn\u2019t really seem much like advice though, she seems interested in a romance with Yuma herself.

The four characters in this story all have this in common. The story is described as a chaotic romantic comedy, without diverse characters, from a lonely boy to a female president of the video games club.<\/p>\n Recommended by <\/strong>Yuki<\/strong><\/a>: Type:<\/strong> Anime Starts airing:<\/strong> July 2017 This is a renewed 4th<\/sup> season of the well-known Hell Girl that aired in 2005-2009, it\u2019s had two sequels since the anime series and was very popular. Hell Girl is about a website run by Enma Ai and her \u2018co-workers\u2019 who, when you put in the name of someone who\u2019s hurting you, make sure they are appropriately punished and eventually journey to hell. This is not without consequences, of course.<\/p>\n Recommended by Anvica<\/a>: Type:<\/strong> Anime Starts airing:<\/strong> July 2017 It\u2019s spring, the time when new students get used to their new school lives. The story of Konbini Kareshi revolves around six boys who go to highschool and they go to, as the name implies, to a nearby conbini after school. Everyone goes there for a different reason: eating ice cream after club activities, getting a new edition of a game magazine, buying ingredients for dinner, meeting new friends or to stock up on food and drinks. The conbini is the place they meet, relax and make small memories. But eventually their reasons for coming to the conbini will change.<\/p>\n
\nStudio:<\/strong> Encourage Films
\nGenres:<\/strong> Slice of Life, School, Shounen Ai
\nBased on the eponymous ongoing yaoi manga by Memeco Arii.<\/p>\n
\nNumber of episodes:<\/strong> Unknown<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>I think it\u2019s an interesting choice to make an anime series out of this manga, because it is related to a main story that it can\u2019t really do without. Do they bring this up briefly in the anime before they continue on with Kousuke and Setagawa\u2019s story? Even more interesting to know is that the original story only got 6 chapters, while the spin-off is still ongoing. Where is it going? And of course, a teacher-student relationship isn\u2019t really something to be proud of. But the most interesting part of the story is the history shared between these two. Although the manga is yaoi, the anime probably won\u2019t focus on the sexual relationships or will just barely avoid them. And this means there\u2019ll be more of a focus on the storyline of the two main characters and maybe it\u2019ll be a bit sweeter, which together with the fact that it\u2019s animated probably only makes shounen ai fans more eager to watch. If you are left wanting for the yaoi-side, then it\u2019s really time to purchase the manga. Only bad news: there is no English licensed version available at the moment.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2_Koi-to-Uso.jpg\")

\nGenres:<\/strong> Drama, Romance, School
\nBased on the eponymous manga by Musawo Tsumugi.<\/p>\n
\nNumber of episodes:<\/strong> Unknown<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>A little while ago I attempted to read the manga the series was based on, due to lack of time I didn\u2019t get very far; but the story was definitely interesting. The characters\u2019 circumstances make for an interesting drama story, because you don\u2019t just wonder \u2018will they become a couple?\u2019, but also \u2018Can they become a couple?\u2019. This anime seems worth watching to me if you like romance and drama anime.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3_Made-in-Abyss.png\")

\nNumber of episodes:<\/strong> Unknown<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The first thing that stood out to me was the chibi style, which is simple but fun to watch, because they\u2019re very cute. What stands out to me in the trailer<\/a> are the backgrounds, these are beautifully animated! It looks like a fantasy world. The plot isn\u2019t very complicated and seems easy to follow. If you like mystery, adventure and fantasy than this definitely a recommendation for you.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4_Kakegurui.jpg\")

\n<\/strong>Despite the fact that I\u2019m unfamiliar with the manga – available in English through Yen Press since 2015 with the name Kakegurui: Compulsive Gambler – and gambling in general the promotional video<\/a> and art style in combination with the music really appealed to me. I\u2019m curious if the anime will appeal to me enough to make me purchase the manga series! Interesting titbit: the manga has inspired three spin-off manga series.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5_Netsuzou-TRap.jpg\")

\nNumber of episodes:<\/strong> Unknown<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>I haven\u2019t watched a good shoujo ai series in a while and the story seems interesting. The circumstances give a lot of opportunity for drama, but also definitely for romance. Although I have to admit the main reason I want to watch this series is because it\u2019s a shoujo ai series.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/6_Ballroom-e-Youkoso.jpg\")
Ballroom e Youkoso (\u30dc\u30fc\u30eb\u30eb\u30fc\u30e0\u3078\u3088\u3046\u3053\u305d)<\/h4>\n

\nBased on the eponymous manga by Tomo Takeuchi.<\/p>\n
\nNumber of episodes:<\/strong> Unknown<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Ballroom e Youkoso is from the same creators as Psycho-Pass, Haikyuu!!, and Ghost in the Shell, different genres that have scored high so I’ve got high expectations. Even though I personally do not enjoy sports animes I still ended up getting drawn to Ballroom e Youkoso. This show has somewhat of a mature feeling to it and the art style is something I absolutely like! I’m not sure why exactly but it feels more realistic than some of the other titles do. The colours are calm and the way the characters have been drawn is eventually different from what we’re used to when we think about anime. Beside all that ballroom isn’t a sport like football is, so even though I do not like sports I would still definitely give Ballroom e Youkoso a chance.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/7_Gamers.jpg\")

\nNumber of episodes:<\/strong> 12<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Although there\u2019s not much known about this series I think it\u2019ll be fun to watch a series about games with a touch of romance involved. The fact that the series is described as a chaotic romantic comedy also definitely sparks my interest.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/8_Jigoku-Shoujo-Yoi-no-Togi.jpeg\")

\n<\/strong>I thought it was interesting that the series is getting a so-called revival of 6 new episodes and 6 episodes that sum up what happened in the past. Because it\u2019s been a while this makes it interesting to see what the new series will add to the story of Hell Girl. The series will start in July.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/9_Konbini-Kareshi.png\")
