Japanese publisher AlphaPolis have announced an upcoming anthology anime series based on their Eternity Books imprint of josei romance novels and manga. The series will be called Eternity ~Shinya Nurekoi Channel~ (Eternity ~Late Night Wet Love Channel~), and it'll be produced by Animation Studio Seven, who are no strangers to hentai. While these stories may be aimed at female audiences, they certainly aren't the Mills & Boon style of romance. Much like XL Joshi, Overflow and OreYubi, the series will be broadcast in two different flavors: a regular SFW version for late-night TV on Tokyo MX and a "deluxe ♡ version" for online streaming, complete with scenes deemed too hot for TV and a different voice cast. Why a different voice cast you ask? Because most voice actors don't particularly want to be associated with smut by putting ecchi stuff on their resume, so when they do end up taking lewd roles they usually do so under a psuedonym. The more you know!
Anyway, the twelve stories confirmed to get the anime treatment are, in episode order:
- Kimi ga Suki Dakara (Because I Like You) by Miju Inoue
- Dekiai Days (Doting Days) by Maki Makihara
- Ai Sareru no Mo Oshigoto Desu ka?! (Is Being Loved Also Part of the Job?!) by Subaru Kayano
- Machikogareta Happy End (The Long-Awaited Happy Ending) by Miki Yoshizakura
- Noraneko wa Ai ni Oboreru (Drowning the Stray Cat in Love) by Akari Sakura
- Bousou Propose wa Goku Ama Shitate (The Reckless Proposal Dressed Up in Sweetness) by Mayu Fuyuno
- Purin no Tanaka-san wa Kedamono. (Tanaka-san With the Pudding is a Beast) by Zakku Yukito
- Reikoku CEO wa Hisho ni Oboreru ka? (Will the Cold-Hearted CEO Fall Head Over Heels for the Secretary?) by Ruru Ruzuki
- Somobu no Maruyama-san, Ikemen Shachō ni Dekiai Sareru (The Handsome President Dotes on Maruyama from General Affairs) by Hiromi Yuin
- 152-senchi 62-kilo no Koibito (The 152cm Tall, 62kg Lover) by Aoi Katakura
- Watashi to Kare no Omiai Jijō (The Formal Marraige Situation Between Me and Him) by Mao Yukimura
- 4-ban Me no Iinazuke Kōho (The Fourth Fiance Candidate) by Seiya Togashi
I couldn't find much about any of these manga online, but what I did find is that most feature office ladies hooking up with their boss, so if that's your thing you might want to keep an eye on this series. Eternity ~Shinya Nurekoi Channel~ is set to air this fall with a new episode every week, and you can find more details on the official website. As always, I'll keep y'all informed when more details drop, and let us know what you think below!
